Karnail Singh And Ors. vs State Of Punjab on 4 August, 1971
In Karnail Singh and Others Vs. State of Punjab, AIR
1971 SC 2119, this Court held that where it is proved beyond
doubt that the evidence of the eye witnesses are trust
worthy in a case where the accused person committed murder
by gun shots, the inconsistency between the opinion of
expert and the eye witnesses relating to the distance from
which gun shots were fired carries no weight. If the eye
witnesses stand the test of their credibility they have to
be believed. Looking to the present case we see even the
doctors opinion is not clear as he admitted that he cannot
give clear opinion about the distance from which the shot
was fired. But he records that it was fired from higher
pedestal which corroborates with the prosecution story.
This, coupled with the fact that the eye witnesses also
corroborate to the same effect, the submission on behalf of
the accused for all the aforesaid reasons with respect to
the first point cannot be sustained.
