Question

Which Section of the Evidence Act deals with an accomplice?

A.

Section 32

B.

Section 135

C.

Section 133

D.

Section 141

Correct option is C

Section 133 of the Indian Evidence Act addresses the testimony of an accomplice. It states that an accomplice is a competent witness against an accused person, and a conviction is not illegal merely because it proceeds upon the uncorroborated testimony of an accomplice.
Information Booster Section 133, though it allows for the testimony of an accomplice to be sufficient for conviction, is often read with Section 114(b), which advises caution and suggests that it is unsafe to convict solely on the basis of an accomplice’s testimony unless corroborated by independent evidence.
