Approver who had given a detailed narrative before the committing Court, when examined in the Session Court, denied all the facts to which he had deposed before the committing Magistrate and said that he knew nothing about the crime.
Held: Apart from the suspicion which always attaches to the evidence of an accomplice, it would plainly be unsafe to rely implicitly on the evidence of a man who had deposed on oath to two different stories, Bhubani Shahu Vs. King (1950) 2 DLR (PC) 39.
Corroboration of approver's evidence-Rule to follow.
Majority-The rule as regards corroboration of the approver's evidence does not require the prosecution to prove by independent evidence that the pris- oner committed the crime but only to produce such reliable and independent evidence as shows or tends to show that part of the approver's testimony where- in he states that the prisoner was one of the persons who took part in the commission of the crime is true hay Vs Crown (1955) 7 DLR (FC) 37 (43 rt. k.col.)
Standing by itself corroborative evidence may not be criminating at all and may be susceptible of an entirely innocent explanation but considered with the story of the approver it may produce on the mind of the Court or the jury a profound conviction that the accused must have acted in the manner alleged by the approver. Ishaq Vs. Crown (1955) 7 DLR (FC) 37
A piece of cloth worn by the murdered man at the time of his assault was found in the place pointed out by the approver who deposed that it was thrown over there by the accused and beyond this statement of the approver there was nothing to connect the accused with the cloth.
Held: The fact that the piece of cloth was re- covered from the place pointed out by the approver was of a value as supporting the credibility of the approver's story; but the statement made by the ap- prover that it was the accused who threw the cloth to the place where it was found is of no more, or no less, value than his statement that the accused took an active part in the murder. (1950) 2 DLR (PC) 39.
