Penal Code, 1860–Secs. 304-B & 306–Interestedness of witness–Scope for consideration–When a woman is subjected to ill treatment within the four walls of her matrimonial house, ill treatment is witnessed only by the perpetrators of crime and they would certainly not depose about it–Independ
ent witness like to servant and neighbours also do not want to involve–Hence if attendant circumstances and evidence on record clearly support and corroborate the witness, then merely because he is interested witness, he cannot be disbelieved because of some exaggerations, if his evidence is otherwise reliable.
