#Prosecution Evidence

Jharkhand High Court rules that the sole testimony of an injured eyewitness can sustain a conviction under the Indian Penal Code, provided the testimony is credible and medical evidence supports it. This reinforces the principle that corroboration is not mandatory when the core evidence is trustworthy, impacting criminal prosecutions relying on ocular evidence.

Madhya Pradesh High Court suspends a 10-year sentence under Section 304 IPC, emphasizing material contradictions in prosecution witness depositions and 22 months of pre-trial custody as grounds for bail. The ruling underscores the court's discretion to grant bail pending appeal where evidence reliability is seriously doubted, even in serious offences.
