Evidentiary Weight of Accomplice's Testimony
evidence general intermediate pyq_discussionMera papa akele nahin kaam karta, usko team hai jismein kai senior advokes hain, lekin ek baar woh ek case mein accomplice ka statement karte the kuch years pehle. Judge bahut hansi gaye thi, kyonki accomplice ki shikaayat usse bhi jaleez lag rahi thi!
Ab question yeh tha: Under Section 8 of the Indian Evidence Act, which statements made by a conspirator can be used as evidence against other conspirators when one of them gives evidence?
Correct approach yeh hai: Section 8 says statements made by a conspirator before the commission of the act or while the act is being done or immediately after the act is done can't be used against other conspirators. Lekin statements made after that can.

Accomplice's testimony ko kuchh weight diya jata hai, par unki credibility ko decide karna aapko kathin hai. Sec. 133 of Evidence Act mein likha hai ki accomplice ka testimony ek saboot ke roop mein use kiya jaa sakta hai, par uski evidentiary weight ko judge determine karta hai. Har case ka apna mukhya point hai.
"Khatam, main sochta hoon ki accomplice ki shahadat ki gurutva badhane ke liye kuchh faktor hain. Ek, unka personal relationship victim ya accused ke saath. Do, unki shahadat ki jaanch ki hai ki woh kisi dhoka ki baare mein jaankari hai kya. Teen, unki shahadat ke dauran unka behavior aur statement.
