Kalthuri Mallikarjuna And Anr. vs State Of Andhra Pradesh on 1 March, 1995
It appears that for fear that he may not be disbelieved and his evidence may appear to be more reliable, Kavali Sivarmaiah PW13 has stated in the last sentence of his examination in chief that police examined him on the night also because immediately preceding the last sentence he had stated that the police had come and went back and then again came in the early hours on 17-1-1991 and examined him. We get from the evidence of the investigating officer PW17 that he had received a vague information on telephone by his informer that some murder had taken place near the village Kanuparthipadu and in order to verify the genuineness of the inforamtion he had gone to the spot. Even after interrogation nobody told him about the incident. The facts of this case are more or less similar to the case of Pattad Amarappa v. State of Karnataka (supra).
