IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION
CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 1525 OF 2015
(Arising out of S.L.P. (Crl.) No. 9151 of 2015)
Shamsher Singh Verma … Appellant
Versus
State of Haryana …Respondent
We are not inclined to go into the truthfulness of the conversation sought
to be proved by the defence but, in the facts and circumstances of the
case, as discussed above, we are of the view that the courts below have
erred in law in not allowing the application of the defence to get played
the compact disc relating to conversation between father of the victim and
son and wife of the appellant regarding alleged property dispute. In our
opinion, the courts below have erred in law in rejecting the application to
play the compact disc in question to enable the public prosecutor to admit
or deny, and to get it sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory, by the
defence. The appellant is in jail and there appears to be no intention on
his part to unnecessarily linger the trial, particularly when the
prosecution witnesses have been examined.
