BHOGILAL CHUNILAL PANDYA vs THE STATE OF BOMBAY

The Supreme Court ruled that notes of attendance prepared by a Solicitor are admissible under Section 157 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, for corroborating the Solicitor's testimony. The Court clarified that the term 'statement' in Section 157 does not necessitate communication to another person, thus allowing the notes to be considered valid evidence. The appeal against the admissibility of the notes was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision.
