It was observed in Aner Raja Khima Vs. The State of Saurashtra : AIR 1956 SC 217 that the presumption that a person acts honestly and Crl. A No.917/2009 Page 5 of 20 legally applies as much in favour of police officers as of others. It is not proper and permissible to doubt the evidence of police officers.

Tahir vs State (Delhi) on 21 March, 1996

8. We see no reason to disbelieve the testimony of PW-7 Ct.Surender and PW-20 Insp.Rajender Malik regarding the disclosure statement made by the appellant while in police custody, production of the knife Ex.P-1 by him from under stone and brick pieces lying in the plot near his house and seizure of bloodstained clothes from him. The appellant does not claim any enmity or ill-will between him and either of these two witnesses. The testimonies of these witnesses could not be assailed during cross-examination and no material discrepancy in their testimonies has been brought to our notice. Their testimonies cannot be rejected merely because they happen to be police officers. As observed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Tahir Vs. State : (1996) 3 SCC 338, no infirmity attaches to the testimony of police officials merely because they belong to the police force.
