👶🗣️ 4 Principles for Child Witness Testimony
👨⚖️ Case:
State of M.P.
v.
Ramesh
[2011]
1. The evidence of child must reveal that he is able to discern b/w Right & Wrong either by cross examination of defence, by putting questions (165) or by the testimony itself.
2. In case the child explains the relevant events of the crime without improvements or embellishments, and the same inspire confidence of the court, his deposition does not require any corroboration whatsoever.
3. If the tutored part can be separated from the untutored part of testimony and the latter inspires confidence then it can be believed or considered for corroboration as in hostile witness cases.
4. Whether tutored or not can be ascertained from deposition of child.
Only in case there is evidence on record to show that a child has been tutored, the court can reject his statement partly or fully and look for corroboration.
Child testimony is at par with other witnesses if the child is competent to testify, more care must be taken whilst taking testimony as it is susceptible to tutoring.
🌟 Child In Conflict With Law Through His Mother v. State Of Karnataka & Anr, 2024
The Court noted that neither any time has been fixed for filing the appeal nor any provision is provided for condonation of delay in case where the appeal is sought to be preferred under Section 101(2) of the JJ Act against the JJB's preliminary assessment order passed under Section 15(1). The bench comprising Justices C.T. Ravikumar and Rajesh Bindal sought to fill up the gap by prescribing 30 days' time limit which otherwise does not go against the scheme of the Act.
“In our opinion, the same being an omission. In order to make the Act workable and putting timelines for exercise of statutory right of appeal which always is there, we deem it appropriate to fill up this gap, which otherwise does not go against the scheme of the Act.
----
“As in the process of preliminary inquiry there is involvement of many persons, namely, the investigating officer, the experts whose opinion is to be obtained, and thereafter the proceedings before the Board, where for different reasons any of the party may be able to delay the proceedings, in our opinion the time so provided in Section 14(3) cannot be held to be mandatory, as no consequences of failure have been provided as is there in case of enquiry into petty offences in terms of Section 14(4) of the Act

Translate the following passage into English (31st Bihar)
"पुस्तकालय में जाते समय उसके नियमों की जानकारी प्राप्त करनी चाहिए। वहाँ जाकर वही पुस्तकें पढ़नी चाहिए जिनकी आपको जरूरत हो। पुस्तकालय में ऐसी अनेक पुस्तकें होती हैं। यदि विद्यार्थी पुस्तकालय में केवल किसी-कहानियों की किताबें पढ़कर अपना समय बर्बाद करने के लिए जाते हों, तो सदुपयोग करना चाहिए तथा पुस्तकालय में बैठकर शांत वातावरण में एकाग्रचित होकर अध्ययन करना चाहिए। पुस्तकालय में बैठकर पुस्तकें पढ़ते समय बिल्कुल शांत रहना चाहिए। पुस्तकालय की पुस्तकों पर पेंसिल या पेन से निशान लगाना, उनके चित्रों आदि को फाड़ना या गंदा करना ठीक नहीं है। वहाँ बैठकर हमें औरों का भी ध्यान रखना चाहिए। हमें कोई ऐसा आचरण नहीं करना चाहिए जिससे दूसरों को असुविधा हो। पुस्तकालय किसी एक व्यक्ति के लिए नहीं है इसलिए वहाँ संग्रहीत पुस्तकें सामाजिक संपत्ति होती हैं अतः हमें पुस्तकालय की पुस्तकों को उसी दृष्टि से देखना चाहिए।"

🫡👨⚖️ The Supreme Court will pronounce judgment tomorrow on the question whether the minimum practice requirement should be reinstated as an eligibility condition for applying to entry-level posts in judicial service.
Yes or No?
What is your Gut feeling?
Earlier under 7 years of age a person is not considered competent to give testimony but Uk has evolved almost to the extent of Indian legal system on child witness.
Indian Cases
1. Rameshwar v. State of Rajasthan (1952): The landmark judgment held that child testimony, much scrutinized, does not require compulsory corroboration in the absence of grounds for suspecting tutoring or fabrication.
2. Dattu Ramrao Sakhare v. State of Maharashtra (1997): The Supreme Court once again reiterated that when a child witness appears to be truthful and consistent, the said testimony could alone furnish the basis for conviction.
The core of Child witness testimony is that the judge must see it is not tutored or there is not undue influence or any other external influence or pressure.
If the testimony is found reliable there is no need of corroboration and it can become the sole basis of conviction.
In India section 118 and 119 (competency) of BSA and POCSO (provisions relating to safe environment, reduce trauma etc) delas with child witness testimony.
In a nutshell child is a as competent as and adult sound person and the testimony cannot be rejected on the grounds of AGE.

समय के सदुपयोग में ही जीवन की सफलता का रहस्य निहित है जो व्यक्ति समय का चक्र पहचान कर उचित ढंग से कार्य करे तो उसकी उन्नति में चार चांद लग सकता है। कहते हैं आदमी के जीवन में एक क्षण या समय अवश्य आया करता है कि व्यक्ति उसे पहचान परख कर उस समय कार्य आरंभ करें तो कोई कारण नहीं कि उसे सफलता न मिल पाए। समय का सदुपयोग करने का अधिकार सभी को समान रूप से मिला है। किसी का इस पर एकाधिकार नहीं है। संसार में जितने महापुरुष हुए हैं वे सभी समय के सदुपयोग करने के कारण ही उस मुकाम पर पहुंच सके हैं। काम को समय पर संपन्न करना ही सफलता का रहस्य है।

"I am somewhat shy not otherwise because I like to mix in people I like to meet people sometimes I am also told by some that as a Supreme Court judge who is in a line to become a CJI, it's not good to mix so much in people but I don't believe in that theory of isolation unless you know who is in the society, you will not be aware about the problems, of the society, and today's judge he can't decide the matters only in black and white totally ignorin, the ground reality in the society.
This statement will help many.

Held: The Supreme Court recently held that, in an appeal against conviction, an Appellate Court cannot invoke its powers to enhance the sentence when neither the state, the victim, nor the complainant has filed an appeal or revision seeking such enhancement.
Sachin v. State of Maharashtra, 2025
2G case held that modification of Ratio Decidendi allowed in Presidential reference.
“It is demonstrable that while entertaining the reference under Article 143(1), this Court had analysed the principles enunciated in the earlier judgment and also made certain modifications. The said modifications may be stated as one of the modes or methods of inclusion by way of modification without changing the ratio decidendi. For the purpose of validity of a reference, suffice it to say, dwelling upon an earlier judgment is permissible.”
Consequently, we reject the preliminary objection and hold that this Reference is maintainable, notwithstanding its effect on the ratio of the 2G Case, as long as the decision in that case qua lis inter partes is left unaffected.”
