The Supreme Court has held in a judgment that the evidence of interested or inimical witnesses cannot be discarded merely on the ground that they are partisan. Instead, such testimonies have to be scrutinised with care, a three-judge Bench headed by Justice B.R. Gavai observed.
“Merely because some of the witnesses are interested or inimical witnesses, their evidence cannot be totally discarded. The only requirement is that their evidence has to be scrutinised with greater care and circumspection,” the court noted in the recent judgment.
