22. Section 134 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 lays down that no particular number of witnesses is required to be examined to prove a fact. The basic purport of the aforesaid provision is that a single or solitary truthful witness may be sufficient to prove the case of prosecution. In many cases, a single truthful witness may far out weight a number of untruthful witnesses in term of probative value that he may carry. This question was considered by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Vedivelu Thevar Vs. State of Madras, (1957) SCR 981, wherein the Hon'ble Supreme Court has laid down the criteria or consideration of appreciating the evidence of solitary witness. For the first time, 14 the Hon'ble Supreme Court came to hold that witnesses can be categorized in three categories viz. wholly reliable witnesses, wholly unreliable witnesses and neither wholly reliable witnesses nor wholly unreliable witnesses. The Hon'ble Supreme Court has held that as far as the first category of witnesses are concerned, there is no difficulty for the Court to come to a conclusion.
