The purpose of holding an inquest is limited. The inquest report does not constitute substantive evidence. Hence matters relating to the how the deceased was assaulted or who assaulted him and under what circumstances are beyond the scope of the report. The report of inquest is primarily intended to ascertain the nature of injuries and apparent cause of death. ( Tahseen Poonawala vs Union of India 2018(2) Crimes 455 SC)
