K.Ponnusamy vs State By Inspector Of Police Sendamaram ... on 23 November, 2015

In "Ponnusamy vs. State of T.N"10 the accused were known to the witnesses. They did not mention name of the accused and on that basis a plea was raised that there was no identification of the accused by the witnesses. The Hon'ble Supreme Court has held that where identity of the accused was not an issue raised by the defence the evidence of the witnesses who did not refer to him by name cannot be discarded.

Pulukuri Kottaya vs King-Emperor on 19 December, 1946

"35. The basic idea embedded in Section 27 of the Evidence Act is the doctrine of confirmation by subsequent events. The doctrine is founded on the principle that if any fact is discovered in a search made on the strength of any information obtained from a prisoner, such a discovery is a guarantee that the information supplied by the prisoner is true. The information might be confessional or non-inculpatory in nature, but if it results in discovery of a fact it becomes a reliable information. Hence the legislature permitted such information to be used as evidence by restricting the admissible portion to the minimum. It is now well settled that recovery of an object is not discovery of a fact as envisaged in the section. The decision of the Privy Council in Pulukuri Kottaya v. Emperor is the most quoted authority for supporting the interpretation that the "fact discovered" envisaged in the section embraces the place from which the object was produced, the knowledge of the accused as to it, but the information given must relate distinctly to that effect."
