Balu Sonba Shinde vs The State Of Maharashtra on 6 September, 2002
In Balu Sonba Shinde v. State of Maharashtra, 2003 SCC (Crl.) 112 the
Hon'ble Supreme Court held that the declaration of a witness to be hostile does
not ipso facto reject the evidence. The portion of evidence being advantageous
to the parties may be taken advantage of, but the Court should be extremely
cautious and circumspect in such acceptance. The evidence of such a witness
cannot be treated as effaced or washed off the record altogether but the same
can be accepted to the extent his version is found to be dependable on a careful
scrutiny thereof.
