Motor Accident Compensation -- FIR as Evidence of Manner of Accident -- Not substantive proof without examination of author
Indian Evidence Act, 1872, S.145 -- Motor Accident Compensation -- FIR as Evidence of Manner of Accident -- Not substantive proof without examination of author -- A First Information Report is not substantive evidence and is admissible only as corroborative evidence or for the purpose of contradiction. A party seeking to rely on the contents of an FIR to establish a fact must examine its author, and mere exhibition of the FIR does not prove its contents. Findings based solely on unproved FIR contents, disregarding eyewitness testimony, are unsustainable.
