Retracted confession as ground for conviction
Retracted confession as ground for conviction legal meaning, translation and judicial precedents.
Meaning & Judicial Interpretation: (اردو مفہوم اور قانونی تشریح)
Retracted confession, could not be a ground for conviction of accused, unless same was corroborated by strong corroborative piece of evidence
For judging evidentiary value of a retracted confession, it had to be seen, whether same appeared to be true, voluntary, without any inducement, promise, duress or coercion
Where retracted judicial confession appeared to be voluntary and true, same would be supposed to be the best evidence against the maker (i.e. accused) and could be made sole basis for conviction, without looking for corroboration.
