A medico-legal autopsy is performed in cases of unnatural, suspicious, or unexplained deaths. The permission of a magistrate ensures legal compliance, allowing the autopsy to proceed as part of an official investigation. This process safeguards the rights of the deceased and ensures that evidence obtained is admissible in court. Relatives’ consent is not mandatory in such cases.
