Chance witness’ testimony must be relied upon only after exercising due care and caution; Himachal Pradesh HC upholds acquittal
“The informant and his brother were allegedly abused and assaulted by the accused persons, but the allegations were denied, and documents were tendered in evidence claiming that the witnesses were the informant’s relatives, and they made false statements against them because of a land dispute. Himachal Pradesh High Court declined to interfere with the trial court’s order of acquittal finding no perversity therein.”
