In the year 1994 I appeared before the Honarable I additional sessions court ,Palakkad to give evidence in a case of stab injury. During cross examination the defence counsel did not get any points in favor. There were seven accused in this case. He was trying to convince the court that there had occured a scuffle between the deceased & the accused & at last the deceased got multiple stab & cut injuries. In order to make his point stronger he was saying that " A SCUFFLE IS BETWEEN A GROUP OF PERSONS & IT IS NEVER ENDING" The judge asked me whether I did agree on the statement. I said I disagree. The judge was telling " IN THAT CASE YOU CAN DEFINE SCUFFLE". With in a fraction of second I uttered the following." SCUFFLE CAN BE DEFINED AS DEFENSIVE & PURPOSEFUL MOVEMENT BETWEEN TWO PERSONS, & THE ACT SCUFFLE ENDS WHEN ONE PERSON IS OVERPOWERED BY THE OTHER." On hearing this the defence counsel was commenting, You will say not only this & something beyond, because your association is with dead bodies. I was prompted to say something in return & the judge prevented me & himself came out like this. See Mr defence counsel, in a number of cases I used to give capital punishment & would you call me as the executioner?. After that comment the court was adjourned . I came behind the lawyer & told him you should respect each & every profession, for this he replied "Go to hell". I waited for an opportunity to give him something in return in that day itself. The counsel for the prosecution prevented me from further actions. I waited there near his car. with in short time he with his assistants & the accused persons came. I approached towards & told that You should respect each & other profession & it is their bread & butter. For this he retorted you go man& Iam having some other business to attend. I said I will go & before myself departing I may say that you are neither having any hair on your head & nor a brain inside your head & you are an imbecile . After that I went towards the jeep where the circle inspector of police in that case was waiting for me. The defence counsel came towards the jeep & lamented. See inspector tell him that I have seen so many other great police surgeons other than him. immediately the inspector was replying what ever you want to convey to him can be done directly to him.
Even though I said like that to the defence counsel directly over his face & I presume no body will dare to do it, I was not able to sleep during the night because the place where I was staying was very close to the place of accused
