On 15 July 2003, husband Balveer Singh killed his wife Birendra Kumari in Singarai village of Madhya Pradesh.
The Supreme Court has said that the witness has no age limit. If a child is able to give a witness, then his testimony will be as valid as any other witness.
In fact, the court sentenced the killer husband to life imprisonment on the basis of a 7 -year -old girl’s witness. The girl saw her father killing her mother.
A bench of Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice Manoj Mishra rejected the order of the Madhya Pradesh High Court in which the accused was acquitted. Also, the girl’s statement was rejected.
Husband murdered his wife in 2003 The case is from July 15, 2003. In Singarai village of Madhya Pradesh, husband Balveer Singh killed wife Birendra Kumari. Balveer Singh was accused that he strangled himself and killed him with the help of his sister at midnight.
Bhura Singh, a relative of the deceased woman, came to know about the funeral, after which the police complained to the police. The biggest witness of the incident was Rani, the daughter of the deceased. He told the court that his father had strangled the mother.
The Supreme Court said- trusting children is only caution and discretionary remedy The Supreme Court said that there is no rule to confirm the child before relying on the statement. Trusting them is only caution and conscience. Such witnesses can be used if the court can need the case under special facts and circumstances.
The Supreme Court said- Children are considered dangerous as witnesses, as they can easily come to someone’s deception. Courts should dismiss such possibilities.
If the court finds that the child is neither tutoring nor an attempt to be used for the testimony of the child, then the court can rely on the testimony of the children while giving the verdict.
