Section 5(Ka) (Kha)

Belated disclosure of material facts

It is well settled that when an eye witness to the occurrence that took place at night does not disclose the names of the assailants he allegedly recognized, the means of recognition and other material facts to the witnesses who came to the scene immediately after the occurrence was over t the earliest opportunity and there is no justifiable reason for non disclosure of the al facts, belated disclosure of the al facts render his evidence/testimony ill. In such a case Court should reasonably infer that the story of recognition the assailants was a subsequent embellishment.

Abdul Haq & Ors Vs. The State 14 BLT (HCD) 476

Section 5(Ka) (Kha)

Admittedly the occurrence took place at t BLT there was no clear evidence about means of recognition although P.W.2 testified that in her room there was a 'cane and P.W.  1  testified that he recognized the accused by torch light BLT the was not produced to the investigation r or he took any step for seizing the hurricane and torch light as means of ignition.  In  a case  like  this when occurrence took place at night the question recognition is  vital importance. In absence of any evidence or means of ignition the identity of the accused is not established beyond reasonable doubt. So in case it is unsafe to convict accused.
