Dinesh Kumar vs State Of Rajasthan on 4 August, 2008
“28.The question of the weight to be attached to the evidence of
a witness that was himself injured in the course of the occurrence has
been extensively discussed by this Court. Where a witness to the
occurrence has himself been injured in the incident, the testimony of such
a witness is generally considered to be very reliable, as he is a witness
that comes with a built-in guarantee of his presence at the scene of the

implicate someone. "Convincing evidence is required to discredit an
injured witness". (Vide Ramlagan Singh & Ors. v. State of Bihar, AIR
