Justice Gavai: It's an independent panel of experts?
Counsel takes Bench through facts of case.

Adv: After mentioning in HC, State conducts post mortem without my presence.

Justice Gavai: Were you informed or not please answer?
Adv: It's impossible for me to reach there from Chennai in time. They said they can't have the parents and proceeded on oral instructions without taking me into confidence. 300km away from Chennai, undue haste shown citing law and order situation.
Bench discusses.

Adv: My allegation was of rape and murder. They have done a shabby job.

Bench: Your problem is with what happened after.
