Judgment text as reported

Rab nawaz VS State Child witness, evidence of---Scope---Child witness is not barred from entering the witness box however it is the satisfaction of the trial Court, which is of crucial importance---Child who also happens to be a victim of an offence is competent to testify as a witness and the deposition would be worthy of reliance provided the Court is satisfied that he or she, as the case may be, is intelligent and understands the significance of entering the witness box---Conviction can also be handed down placing reliance on the sole testimony of a child witness, but as a rule of prudence, it is generally preferred that it should be corroborated by some other evidence so as to ensure the safe administration of justice.
