MINIMUM NUMBER OF WITNESSES REQUIRED IN THE COURT OF LAW

Indian Evidence Act, 1872 deals with the procedure regarding the provision of the witness and evidence.

For proving a person guilty of an offence one has to produce and submit evidence before the court of law. The evidence would be admissible only if it relate to the subject matter of offence. The hearsay evidences, however, are not admissible though they are related to it.

The evidences are submitted and the witnesses are examined as per Section 137. Examination is of 3 types:

1. Examination-in-chief

2. Cross-examination

3. Re-examination

Now, the question arises that how many witnesses are required? What is the minimum and maximum number of witnesses required?

The answer to these question lies under section 134 of the Indian Evidence Act,1872. There is not any minimum or maximum number of witnesses required in the court of law. Even one witness may be sufficient.
