    Question

    A young girl and her father were hit by a speeding car. The girl died and her father suffered from two broken ribs. Criminal prosecution was launched against the driver of the car. The father of the child was proposed to be examined as a witness. The father is

    A.

    a competent witness if his testimony is otherwise found to be without too many discrepancies.

    B.

    a reliable witness if his testimony is corroborated with other evidence such as medical reports.

    C.

    not a competent witness as he is related to the victim and will be swayed by emotions.

    D.

    Both (1) and (2).

    Correct option is D

    The correct answer is D. Under Section 124 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, the father is a competent witness as his relationship with the victim does not bar him from testifying. However, his reliability as a witness may be strengthened if corroborated by other evidence.
