Anil Phukan vs State Of Assam on 17 March, 1993
In "Anil Phukan vs. State of Assam", 1993 Cri.L.J.1796, the
Hon'ble Supreme Court observed that a conviction can be based
on the testimony of single eye-witness and there is no rule of law
of evidence which says to the contrary provided that sole witness
passes the test of reliability. However, where the single eye-
witness is not found to be wholly reliable witness, in the sense
that there are some circumstances which may show that he could
have any interest in the prosecution then the courts generally
insist upon some independent corroboration of his testimony, in
material particulars, before recording conviction. It is only when
the courts find that the single eye witness is wholly unreliable
witness that his testimony is discarded in toto.
