Evidence of an eye witness—Held, when an eyewitness behaves in a manner that perhaps would be unusual, it is not for the prosecution or the Court to go into the question as to why he reacted in such a manner—There is no fixed pattern of reaction of an eyewitness to a crime—When faced with what is termed as ‘an unusual reaction’ of an eyewitness, the Court must only examine whether the prosecution story is in anyway affected by such reaction—If the answer is in the negative, then such reaction is irrelevant.
