Nothing in law to disbelieve policemen: SC - The Times of India: NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has said all policemen are not bad and there is nothing in law which says that a statement made by a cop cannot be treated as an admissible evidence.
A bench of justices Markandeya Katju and C K Prasad said statements of police personnel cannot be outrightly rejected but should be weighed on the facts of the case.
"There is no principle of law that a statement made in a court by a policeman has to be disbelieved. It may or may not be believed. It is not that all policemen will tell lies. There are good and bad people in all walks of life.
"There are good and bad police men as well. We cannot assume that every statement of a policeman is necessarily false," Justice Katju said writing the judgement.
