The famous case of Palvinder Kaur vs. State of Punjab, relates to

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Palvinder Kaur concerns a statement containing both incriminating and self-exculpatory material. The Court held that the prosecution could not simply discard the exculpatory account and use the incriminating part when there was no independent evidence establishing that the exculpatory account was false. The case therefore concerns the treatment of the statement as a whole, rather than dying declarations or accomplice testimony.
