Baldu Alias Baldua vs State Of Madhya Pradesh on 7 July, 2003
In the case of Balbir Singh v. State of Punjab, (1999) 9 SCC 30, the Supreme Court has held that ordinarily extra-judicial confession should not be accepted without corroboration. In the instant case also there is no corroboration of the confession made to this witness. As we have discussed hereinabove that after the alleged confession made by the accused to this witness, he sent the said information to the family members of the deceased but the brother (Bhagwan Das) and the mother of the deceased do not say that Rajju (P.W. 1) ever said to them in respect to the confession of the accused nor this fact find place in the report (Ex. P-23) lodged by Bhagwan Das.
