Last seen evidence

  1. It is celebrated principle of law that last seen evidence is fundamentally a most weak type of evidence — It has certain inherent defects in it as the time of last seeing the accused in the company of deceased and the alleged time of incident and the other attending facts are to be kept in mind at the time of appraisal of such a witness. Muhammad Mushtaq v. State 2001 SCR 286 (C)
  2. Last seen evidence due to its inherent defects is fundamentally a weak type of evidence — Even if the same is believed to be true a conviction on the sole testimony of last seen evidence cannot be sustained unless there be some strong corroborative piece of evidence in support of the prosecution. Muhammad Mushtaq v. State 2001 SCR 286 (D)
  3. Last seen evidence is weakest form of evidence and if there is some last seen evidence then the strong corroboration is required. Rehmat Ali v. Samundar Khan and another 2009 SCR 252 (B)
