evidence of a witness should not be discarded or disbelieved only on the ground
of relationship or enmity. The Appellate Division is of the view that if the
evidence of the witness is believable and if there is no reason to disbelieve
his evidence, then only on the ground of relationship or enmity, evidence of
such witness cannot be discarded and conviction may be given relying on the
evidence

charge sheet although there is no mention regarding land possession of
plaintiff and defendants the investigation officer being influenced illegally
by defendants being present in honorable court stated in questioning, it is
found in my investigation that it is on possession of defendants for 30-35
years. The complainant party in 2010 in political perspective the means of
possess is alleged land in on possession of plaintiff from 2010 that means the
incident has been happened in shop house possessed by complainant. Besides, if
the statement was true that means the defendant for 30-35 year during on
possession in 2010 the plaintiff took possession from defendants. The defendants
must would file case seeking Khas possession evicting the plaintiff”.
