What matters may be proved in connection with proved statement relevant under section 32 or 33
AI Assist
Summary
When a statement admissible under section 32 or 33 is proved, parties may also prove any related facts to contradict or corroborate that statement, or to impeach or confirm the credit of the person who made it. The evidence allowed is the same as would have been permitted if that person had been called as a witness and, on cross-examination, had denied the matter suggested.
Example
Priya, a shopkeeper, made a statement before she died saying Arjun left her shop with some goods. Her statement is proved under section 32. The court may allow witnesses to support or contradict specific details of Priya's statement and admit evidence about Priya's honesty, just as if Priya had been called and cross-examined.
Bare Act
Enacted textWhenever any statement, relevant under section 32 or 33, is proved, all matters may be proved either in order to contradict or to corroborate it, or in order to impeach or confirm the credit of the person by whom it was made, which might have been proved if that person had been called as a witness and had denied upon cross-examination of the truth the matter suggested.
