GHULAM MUSTAFA alias RAJA BULEDI VS State Witness--- Interested and related witness---Reliance--- Scope--- Term "interested"---Connotation---Testimony of the witness which was trustworthy and inspiring confidence could not be discarded on the ground of his/her close relationship with the deceased---Close relative, if proved to be the natural witness of the occurrence, could not be termed as an interested witness---Term "interested" postulated that the person concerned must have some direct interest in seeing the accused person being convicted somehow or the other either because of animosity or for some other reason---Mere relationship of witness with the deceased would not detract from his/her veracity, as he had absolutely no motive of his own to involve the accused falsely by letting off the real culprits.
