1967 (12) TMI 29 - SC - CustomsWhether there be one accomplice or more and that the confessing co-accused cannot be placed higher than an accomplice? Held that:- The High Court has very searchingly examined the evidence of Kahinath and applied to it the checks which must always be applied to accomplice evidence before it is accepted. There is corroboration to the evidence of Kashinath in respect of Haroon from the confession of Bengali given independently and in circumstances which exclude any collusion or malpractice. Regard being had to the provisions of Section 133 of the Evidence Act, we do not think that we should interfere in this appeal by special leave, particularly as we hold the same opinion about the veracity of Kashinath. Appeal dismissed.
