TESTIMONY OF EYEWITNESS AND ITS RELIABILITTY IN INDIA: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS
ABSTRACT
Under Indian law, an eyewitness has a crucial function to perform. An eyewitness is a witness who provides evidence regarding an act or transaction that he personally witnessed and about which he testifies in court. They are seen as being of utmost importance in the courtroom during the trial in order to produce a fair and just judgment. They are involved in the beginning procedure, or when the matter is being developed before the court. The witness must be qualified and competent to testify in court as an eyewitness. As their identification of the accused may lead to charges or a conviction, they play a highly important role in the court. Yet, they are not always regarded as trustworthy because there have frequently been a number of challenges. Eyewitness testimony is frequently cited as having caused erroneous convictions because of unreliable or erroneous evidences produced by them. Yet, there is no restriction on condemning someone based only on a single witness' testimony. There is a persistent notion that states that evidence should be weighed rather than counted. Eyewitness testimony's reliability and accuracy can be tested, and research has shown that the witness's visible evidence is useless without the witness's awareness.
