BALWANT KAUR vs UNION TERRITORY OF CHANDIGARH

The Supreme Court addressed the necessity of corroboration in accomplice testimony under Section 114 and Section 133 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, emphasizing that a conviction cannot solely rely on uncorroborated evidence. The Court held that the approver's testimony must be corroborated by material evidence to sustain a conviction under Sections 302 and 120-B IPC. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the trial court's conviction of the appellant and the non-appealing accused for conspiracy and murder.
