EVIDENCE ACT DISPUTE || Section 6 vs 20
evidence mh_cet_law intermediate mcq_debateKya aapko lagta hai ki Section 6 ya Section 20 hai jo is shart ko deta hai ki ek shahadat ko reject kiya ja sakta hai?
To, ye question hai:
Question: A police officer records a statement of a witness (W1) under section 161 of CrPC in the presence of defence counsel. After one year, W1 is produced before the court as a prosecution witness. During cross-examination, it is revealed that W1 has no recollection of making the statement. Will the court allow the statement of W1 recorded under section 161 to be used as substantive evidence?
Rahul: Haan, bhai, yeh statement use ki ja sakti hai because Section 6 says that statement of witness is admissible if it's recorded by any public servant in writing. Aur police officer bhi public servant hai.

Arre, yeh discussion bahut interesting hai! But, main to nahi manege ki Section 6 se 20 ka comparison kiya jaaye. Section 6 hai jo hearsay evidence ka definition deti hai, while Section 20 hai jo hearsay evidence ka exception deta hai. Yeh dono to alag-alag topics hain, aur unhe same platform pe discuss karna galat hai. Chalo, topic se specific discussion karke dekhenge.
Bhai log, Section 6 vs Section 20 ke debate me, yeh batana zaroori hai ki Statement in issue hai, jo ki ek Statement hai, jisein ek person ne kiya hai, aur uska statement any other person ko bataya hai. To, Section 20 under Section 6 ke purview mein aya hai, kyunki statement in issue hai, aur yeh statement ek statement hai hi.
