Evidence for mental harassment??

Dear,

Verbal statements are taken into consideration provided the same have been corroborated by some independent sources, her friends will be interested witnesses and there evidence will not have much importance to the case, No her words will never be taken as gospal truth, try break her and her friends in their cross examination.

I disagree with Kapil, the testimony of witness can not be discarded just because they are interested witnesses. 

Oral Statements under oath for the sake of evidence has equal standing as is of any material proof. Criminal case hinges on effective cross-examination. If she has given a statement and then you bungle at cross-examination; you stand to loose.

Hi Harmony

I agree with shonee kapoor sir and as well as with Kapil Chandna.

Though they are interested witness, which is fact , still you have to bring truth in court via Cross.

If 3-4 witness giving a same statement (who are interested witness) and you wont be able to break them in cross , they you may loose the case.I am 100%sure that there must be 1000's of lies in FIR , You have to hit them hard in cross.

You can PM your number , we can talk about it in more details.

Dear experts,

How can her friends statements who were not at the scene be considered as proper evidence. Its comes under heresay right..!!

Please correct me if i m wrong.

Yes sir - You are right , But again remember in 498A movie ...wife is the main herioen who is actully witness of all the harrashment caused.

It is important that she should confront in cross with her chief and 161 statments.

Now witness of friends will come in heresay agree to this , but if wife is telling a story and her friends are repeting the same and we are not able to bring contradiction in statement then ....its a bad situation.

Although as she is lieing on many occations in all the points then definatly a good criminal lawyer will be able to break the witness ...

Thank you for the opinions. I guess this is a subjective matter. My only point is that whether mere heresay statements made by one off friend/maid of complainant (interested witness) and that too very vague and which have NO material evidence nor corroborated by any other proof can really decide the case??? I hope our judiciary system is not that flawed - my gut feel is that it is not and I hope I am proved right. After all, truth HAS to prevail.

@Harmony:

seriously...i wish the same.. but believe it or not..

i have read a few cases on false promise of marriage etc..

guy claims that he has never promised for marriage or anything.. but gal claims he did.. people go with her version....!! just coz indian women wont get physical without that 'MARRIAGE' promise. yes...this is india. Corroborative evidence is only that women speaks gospel truth. i seriously wish my assumptions are wrong.
