Assumi sir this rulling has no work here. Its about
Death of person lodging FIR - Contents of FIR - Could be used for purpose of corroborating or contradicting person lodging FIR if he had been examined but not as substantive piece of evidence.

Most of the accused denied from the stament of 161 cr.p.c. and it does'nt matter . Their chief examimination against the court is only admissible .The value of 161 is only upto the time of the bail and nothing else .

all experts r correct absolutely

there is a stage of charge hearing .at this stage the judge will consider the 161 statement and also the defence lawyer .if the 161 statement is not confidence inspirtng the accused is entitled to discharge.
Shonee Kapoor (Legal Evangelist - TRIPAKSHA) 23 December 2011
Agreed with all experts on diverse issues.
However, this alone is no ground for discharge.

Supreme Court had occasion to caution the Court to be vigilant against the motivated or unfair dealings of the investigating officers during the course of investigation. In the case of Karnel Singh v. State of M.P the Supreme Court said: "In cases of defective investigation the court has to be circumspect in evaluating the evidence but it would not be right in acquitting an accused person solely on account of the defect; to do so would tantamount to playing into the hands of the investigating officer if the investigation is designedly defective."
