ISSUE:
Whether failure to hold a test identification parade makes the evidence of identification in court inadmissible?
RULE:
Section 9 Indian Evidence Act- Identification of a person, has been dealt with under section 9 of the Evidence Act. When the identity of a person is in question, identification by parents, wife or other relatives is relevant. Test Identification Parade is conducted under this section to aid the investigation of an offence. But this is not seen as substantive proof unless corroborated by the witness in court.
