Testimony Of Witness Shouldn't Be Discarded Merely Because Of Relation With Victim : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of witness testimony in cases involving close relatives of victims. The court ruled that while family members can be witnesses, their testimony must be treated with caution, as they may be biased due to their emotional connection to the case. The ruling stressed that the credibility of a witness must be evaluated based on the evidence presented, rather than the relationship between the witness and the victim. This judgment aimed to ensure that the judicial process remains fair and impartial, avoiding undue influence from familial ties in the determination of facts in legal proceedings.
