Section 159 of BSA : Section 159: Questions tending to corroborate evidence of relevant fact, admissible.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Ravi is a witness in a case involving a hit-and-run accident. He testifies that he saw the car speeding and hitting a pedestrian at a busy intersection in Mumbai. To corroborate Ravi's testimony, the court allows questions about other observations he made around the same time, such as the color of the traffic light, the presence of other vehicles, and the weather conditions. If Ravi's observations about these additional circumstances are consistent and credible, they can help strengthen his testimony about the hit-and-run incident.

Example 2:

Priya is a witness in a burglary case in Delhi. She testifies that she saw the accused, Raj, entering the house through a window at midnight. To support Priya's testimony, the court permits questions about other details she noticed, such as the sound of breaking glass, the presence of a getaway vehicle, and the time she heard the neighborhood dogs barking. If Priya's account of these surrounding circumstances is verified by independent evidence, it can corroborate her testimony about seeing Raj enter the house, thereby making her evidence more reliable.
