State Of U.P vs Krishna Gopal & Anr on 12 August, 1988
The concepts of probability, and the degrees of it,
cannot obviously be expressed in terms of units to be
mathematically enumerated as to how many of such units
constitute proof beyond reasonable doubt. There is an
unmistakable subjective element in the evaluation of the
degrees of probability and the quantum of proof. Forensic
probability must, in the last analysis, rest on a robust
common sense and, ultimately, on the trained intuitions of
the judge. While the protection given by the criminal
process to the accused persons is not to be eroded, at the
same time, uninformed legitimization of trivialities would
make a mockery of administration of criminal justice. This
position was illuminatingly stated by Venkatachalia, J(as
His Lordship then was) in State of U.P. v. Krishna Gopal
and Anr. (AIR 1988 SC 2154).
