Tape-recorded conversation, a previous statement, made by a person and recorded on tape, can be used not only to corroborate the evidence given by the witness in Court but also to contradict the evidence given before the Court, as well as to test the veracity of the witness and also to impeach his impartiality.

Relevancy and admissibility

Relevancy and admissibility, the expressions 'relevancy and admissibility' are used as synonyms but their legal implications are distinct and different for more often than not facts which are relevant may not be admissible, for example, communication made by spouses during marriage or between an Advocate and his client though relevant are not admissible; so also facts which are admissible may not be relevant, for example, questions permitted to be put in cross-examination to test the veracity or impeach the credit of witnesses, though not relevant are admissible. The probative value of the evidence is the weight to be given to it which has to be judged having regard to the facts and circumstances of each case, Ram Bihari Yadav v. State of Bihar, (1998) 4 SCC 517: AIR 1998 SC 1850 (1852). [Evidence Act, (10 of 1872), s. 3]...

Lakshmi Bharathi, AIR 1974 SC 1764: (1975) 3 SCC 351: (1975) 1 SCR 57.Means the judgment of a foreign Court. [Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (5 of 1908), s. 2 (6)]--A foreign judgment, i.e., a judgment of a foreign court, stands on a very different footing from a judgment of a court of this country. It cannot be enforced here by execution like an English judgment; it can only be enforced by bringing an action on it as if it were a contract, which of course it is not, though it is convenient to treat it as such. It is not strictly in this country res judicata, and therefore does not create an absolute estoppel. Nevertheless it is practically conclusive between the parties on the merits. Every presumption will be made in favour of...
