520			_aHomicide is one of the most heinous crimes defined in the Indian Penal Code, 1860. The incidence of homicide is, perhaps, as old as the life of human civilization, finding mention in old religious texts, like Ramayana and Mahabharata and other documented pieces of history. This paper presents findings of a detailed analysis of retrospective data base study of homicide cases in Raigarh region of Chhattisgarh (CG) province of India in terms of time of incidence, age, sex, weapon, location of injury etc. Apart from scientific data, legal aspects of some critical points (includes the Hon’ble constitutional Court’s guidelines and observations with respect to investigation of death due to medical negligence cases), hindrances to successful investigation and prosecution besides some viable solutions are discussed critically. Even in case of non-recovery of the body i.e. absence of corpus delicti, it has been analysed as to how conviction of murder charge against the accused can be sustained by pursuing the investigation in a way that connects the chain of evidence very cogently with a view to satisfying the expected standard of evidence sufficient to secure success in the trial proceedings. In the concluding part some suggestions are also appended to help the investigating officers/agencies to conduct successful prosecution.- Reproduced https://bprd.nic.in/WriteReadData/userfiles/file/202309181225361531209Jan-March_2022.pdf
