Boodhe @ Roop Singh Vs. The State of M.P.

Madhya Pradesh High Court (Single Judge)

Criminal Appeal, 1717 of 1998, Judgment Date: Nov 29, 2018

Law laid down -

The Evidence Act nowhere says that evidence of the prosecutrix cannot be accepted unless it is corroborated by any material particulars. The requirement of material for corroboration depends on the facts and circumstances of each case applying the rule of prudence. But if the prosecutrix is an adult and of full understanding the court is entitled to base a conviction on her evidence unless the same is shown to be infirm and not trustworthy. If the totality of the circumstances appearing on the record of the case disclose that the prosecutrix does not have a strong motive to falsely involve the person charged, the court should ordinarily have no hesitation in accepting her evidence.
