Ganesh Y. Bhutekar vs State Of Maharashtra on 30 July, 2004
In the
case of Ganesh Y. Bhutekar (supra), it has been observed that deceased wife was
alleged to have committed suicide on account of non fulfillment of demand of
dowry. Disbelieving the testimony of close relatives, it was observed that when
testimony of close relatives basically impairs credibility of their claim, the
independent evidence is absolutely necessary to lend assurance to the claim made
by such witnesses.
