cause of his death. The evidence of PW-7 Dr. Chavan is material to prove the recitals of Post Mortem report (Exh.56) pertaining to the cause of death of victim Tukaram. He is not the author of patient case papers (Exh.59 to 67) nor he was aware about the genuineness of the recitals mentioned in the document. The evidence of PW-7 Dr. Chavan is totally alien to the recitals of patient case papers (Exh.59 to 67). PW-4 Dr. Kunal Jadhav, PW-17 Dr. Birajdar, both of them are also seems not related with there documents nor they are authors of the patient case papers (Exh.59 to 67). The PW-4 Dr. Jadhav categorically stated that these case papers does not bear his signature nor these documents are in his handwriting. Admittedly, the author of the relevant entries, particularly about date, time of admission and history of patient Tukaram shown written in the patient case papers (Exh.59 to 67), did not step into the witness box, to prove the contents of these vital documents. In such circumstances, in absence of proper proof, the particulars recorded in the patient case papers cannot be read in evidence. In contrast, the testimony of PW-4 Dr. Kunal Jadhav, (Exh. 46 and 118) as well as PW-17 Dr. Birajdar (Exh. 151) conjures up the image that the victim Tukaram and his daughter PW-2 Janabai were brought to the hospital at Ambajogai on 2.1.2009 in the noon hours at around 3.35 p.m. The alleged incident of assault by the appellants/accused was occurred in the noon hours at about 2.00 p.m. on 2.1.2009 and thereafter the injured were brought to hospital. The so called history of patient, written in the medical treatment papers in regard to assault by the bull horn, could not be appreciated in the absence of evidence of its author.
