As per case facts, the appellant was convicted for murder after allegedly assaulting his wife with an axe, leading to her death. He appealed the trial court's judgment, arguing that ... the conviction was based on the unreliable testimony of a single eye-witness who had admitted enmity with him, and that there were contradictions in the prosecution's evidence. The question arose whether a conviction could be sustained solely on the testimony of a single eye-witness, especially when their credibility was challenged due to admitted enmity with the accused, and if corroboration was an absolute necessity. Finally, the court, referencing Supreme Court precedents, affirmed that the quality of evidence is more crucial than the quantity of witnesses. A single credible and reliable witness can be sufficient for conviction, even if there's admitted enmity, provided their testimony is free from suspicion and well-supported by other evidence, such as forensic reports. The court emphasized that no general rule dictates mandatory corroboration for a single witness, and it upheld the conviction.
