Abdul Sayeed vs State Of M.P on 14 September, 2010

47. Now coming to the two main eyewitnesses, Manju Devi (PW-2) and Chanda (PW-9), who also happens to be the victims. The testimony of the injured witness is accorded a special status in law. This is as a consequence of the fact that the injury to the witness is an in-built guarantee of his presence at the scene of the crime and because the witness will not want to let the actual assailant go unpunished merely to falsely implicate a third party for the commission of the offence. Thus, the deposition of the injured witness should be relied upon unless there are strong grounds for rejection of their evidence on the basis of major contradiction and discrepancies - See Abdul Sayeed v. State of M.P. - 2010 INSC 608.
