Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

I have been assualted and I have registered a FIR against the 3 culprits. Police have chargesheeted the case and the case is pending trial in the court. I asked the court to give me the certified copies of the entire file. They gave me, but in that file the police have not included the Medico-Legal Certificate which I gave to the police along with the complaint. Police have not submitted the MLC to the court, instead they have submitted only the wound certificate. When the case was registered police have helped the culprits in abscoding them, manipulating the statements and not putting chargesheet. I had corrected all these after lot of escalations to the hight authorities in the police dept. But I am unaware that the police have not submitted the MLC to the court. Please let me know if this is a normal procedure for police not to submit the MLC or the police did this wantedly. The trial is yet to start.

Police always deposit every evidence at the time of challan. if police has sumitted the copy of simple wound then you yourself can file the applicaiton and place on record all the material before the court.

in case they have not submitted the MLC, the prosecutor may request the court for calling the records from the concerned hospital and the doctor would stand as a witness.
