<h1>Supreme Court emphasizes eyewitness testimony and confession corroboration in criminal cases</h1> <h3>Shrishail Nageshi Pare Versus State Of Maharashtra</h3> Shrishail Nageshi Pare Versus State Of Maharashtra - 1985 AIR 866, 1985 (3) SCR 461, 1985 (2) SCC 341, 1985 (1) SCALE 1040 The Supreme Court dismissed a Special Leave Petition by the first accused in a criminal case, criticizing the High Court's misapplication of legal principles regarding the weight of evidence, including eyewitness testimony and confessions. The Court emphasized that a truthful eyewitness account can be sufficient for a conviction and that a confession, if corroborated, can also form the basis for a conviction. The High Court's view that a confession alone cannot prove guilt was deemed erroneous.
