Witness's Previous Statements: A Trap Lurking

evidence clat_pg advanced trick_question

Yeh Evidence Act ka section kaam aa jata hai, lekin sabke binaas ke liye. CLAT PG ke shikshakon ne is question ko pehle se hi trap banaa diya hai. Question hai: 'X ka statement kiya hai ki woh apne patnee ko 10 February ko ghar se gayi thi, lekin witness ka statement hai ki X ne apne patnee ko 11 February ko hi ghar se nikalne ka liya tha. Kya ye witness ki previous statements par aadhaar lagana hoga?'

Yeh question aapke samajh mein aaye ga ki witness ki previous statement kis tarah se X ka statement se judti hai.

Bhai log, I think previous statements of a witness are not a trap, rather a crucial piece of evidence. Cross-examing their previous statements with current testimony can reveal inconsistencies, thereby weakening their credibility. It's not a trap, but a tool to test the reliability of the witness. Har ek baat ko dhyaan sath, na to sab sahi hain.
