Dock Identification of Stranger Witness Without Test Identification Parade Has No Evidentiary Value; Section 27 Evidence Act Disclosures Require Discovery : Delhi HC
The court held that dock identification of a stranger witness without a test identification parade carries no evidentiary value, and co-accused disclosure statements under Section 27 of the Evidence Act are inadmissible unless they lead to discovery of facts. The prosecution also failed to prove conspiracy and harbouring beyond reasonable doubt, securing acquittal in a 2004 robbery case.
