Arre bhai, main nahin mante. Section 3 of Evidence Act 1872 clearly baata hai ki witness statement ko evidence ke roop mein swikar karna hai, lekin iska condition hai ki witness ko ek witness mein accept kiya ja sakta hai. Lekin yeh koi jahil nai hai ki witness ko ko kehna hai ki woh case mein shamil tha, isliye statement ko evidence ke roop mein nahin maana ja sakta.

Chill, this is a straightforward question. Think of witness statements as secondary evidence. They can be used to corroborate or contradict the primary evidence. Just remember, witness statements can be written, video or audio recordings, or even just a witness's verbal statement in court. They add depth to the case, but are not conclusive on their own. Keep it simple, and you're good to go!
