S.328 of IPC : Principles for Conviction
An important Judgment was passed by Hon'ble Delhi High Court on 9 May 2017.
It has been commented in Mahinder Kumar v State [2017] GCtR 2968 (Delhi) thus: -
"No witness is entitled to get better treatment merely because he was examined as a prosecution witness or even as a court witness. It is judicial scrutiny which is warranted in respect of the depositions of all witnesses for which different yardsticks cannot be prescribed as for those different categories of witnesses."
"in a case under Section 328 IPC mere oral assertions are not sufficient to hold an accused guilty of the offence. To hold an accused guilty for the offence, the oral assertions ought to be corroborated by other circumstances and evidence."
