PART III - PRODUCTION AND EFFECT OF EVIDENCE
CHAPTER VII - WITNESSES

Section 113. Questions tending to corroborate evidence of relevant fact admissible.

When a witness whom it is intended to corroborate gives evidence of any relevant fact, he may be questioned as to any other circumstances which he observed at or near the time or place at which the relevant fact occurred, if the Court is of opinion that the circumstances, if proved, would corroborate the testimony of the witness as to the relevant fact to which he testifies.

ILLUSTRATION

A, an accomplice, gives an account of worshipping a grave in which he took part. He describes various incidents, unconnected with the act of worshipping the grave, which occurred on his way to and from the place where it was committed.

Independent evidence of these facts may be given in order to corroborate his evidence as to the act of worshipping the grave.
