Prakash And Another vs State Of Madhya Pradesh on 20 August, 1992

Courts have laid down that evidence of a child witness must find adequate corroboration before it is relied on.

Bachan Singh vs State Of Punjab on 9 May, 1980

We have extracted the above reasons of the two courts only to point out that it is the savagery or brutal manner in which the killer perpetrated the acts on the victims including one little child, which has persuaded the two courts to choose death sentence to four persons. No doubt brutally looms large in the murders in this case particularly of the old and also the tender aged child. It may be that the manner in which the killings were perpetrated may not by itself show any lighter side, but that is not very peculiar or very special in those killings. Brutality of the manner in which a murder was perpetrated may be a ground but not the sole criterion for judging whether the case is one of the " rarest of rare cases" as indicated in Bachan Singh's case in a way every murder is brutal, and the difference between the one from the other may be on account of mitigating or aggravating features surrounding the murder.
