Unnatural conduct of witnesses
Although the absence of any hue and cry by the eye witnesses when the assailants were carrying on their attacks on their preys is un- derstandable, yet the failure of the witnesses to raise hue and cry even after the retreat of the assailants is totally inconsistent with standard reaction of ordinary villagers witnessing a murder. Nowabul Alam and others Vs The State, 15BLD(AD)54 Ref: 15DLR (SC)65; 14DLR(SC)81:
A.LR. 1965 (SC)202; 14DLR (SC) 159; PLD 1960 (SC)387; A.LR. 1954 (SC)2; A.LR. 1952(SC)2; 167:A.IR. 1973(SC)1073-Cited
Conviction based on the evidence of sole eye-witness
When the sole witness Jobura Khatun saw accused Badsha Mia dealing a dao blow on the abdomen of her daughter victim Halima Khatun and accused Badsha Mia dealt her dao blows on the shoulders when she tried to save her daughter and she reported the occurrence to witnesses as soon as they came to the scene of occurrence and her testimony is supported by medical evidence, conviction on the evidence of such a sole eye-witness can safely be based. Mohammad Badsha Miah Vs. The State, 16BLD(AD)283
Discrepancies in the evidence of witnesses.
Discrepancies in the evidence of eye- witnesses regarding the details of the incident may occur but that do not belittle their evidence. Eyewitnesses cannot be expected to enumerate photographic picturisation of an attack. In the absence of any evidence of enemity or of any motive, they may be treated as truthful witnesses. Ataur Rahman and others Vs. The State, 14BLD(HCD)391
Moreover, this Division in several cases held that conviction of an accused can safely be based on the solitary evidence of the eye-witness when his evidence is full, complete and self contained even it may not have received corroboration from other witnesses but it stands fully corroborated by the circumstances of the case and medical evidence on record. Its fullness and completeness are enough to justify the conviction. This view finds support in the case of Abdul Hai Sikder vs State, 43 DLR (AD) 95. [73 DLR (AD) 295]
