Judgments - Conviction

Law Laid Down - Chance Witness- Interested witnessEvidentiary value - (i) If presence of witness is satisfactorily established, his statement cannot be discarded by treating him as mere “chance witness”. The expression ‘chance witnesses’ is borrowed from countries where every man’s home is considered his castle and every one must have an explanation for his presence elsewhere or in another man’s castle. It is a most unsuitable expression in a country whose people are less formal and more casual. (Judgment of Supreme Full Judgment
