https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=288221 A pardon under Sections 306 or 307 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is conditional and protects an accomplice only while he makes a full and true disclosure. Once the Public Prosecutor certifies non-compliance under Section 308, the statutory protection ends, the person reverts to the position of an accused, and earlier evidence cannot be used against co-accused in the same trial. The law on accomplice evidence, hostile witnesses, and self-incrimination does not permit compulsion of further examination after forfeiture of pardon. The approver therefore did not remain a prosecution witness, and the defence had no right to cross-examine him. en-us Tue, 05 Oct 2010 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 09 Jun 2020 11:14:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=288221 A pardon under Sections 306 or 307 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is conditional and protects an accomplice only while he makes a full and true disclosure.
