State vs 1. Hitesh Kumar on 18 January, 2011
47. Similar view has been taken by the Hon'ble Apex Court in
Leela Ram Vs. State of Haryana & Anr. reported as AIR 1999 SC 3717
that the Court shall have to bear in mind that different witnesses react
differently under different situations, whereas some become speechless,
some start wailing while some others run away from the scene and yet
there are some who may come forward with courage, conviction and
belief that the wrong should be remedied. As a matter of fact it depends
upon individuals and individuals. There cannot be any set pattern or
uniform rule of human reaction and to discard a piece of evidence on
the ground of his reaction not falling within a set pattern is
unproductive and a pedantic exercise.
