( 2 ) THE complaint filed by Radhaben is admitted in evidence at Exh. 12 in the case. Radhaben in her examination-in-chief stated that on way to Cottage Hospital she had gone to Dahod Rural Police Station where she was questioned about the incident and thereafter her thumb-impression was obtained on complaint. The fact that officer incharge of police station who reduced into writing the information given by Radhaben, is not examined by the prosecution as one of the witnesses is not in dispute.

A complaint given by a person or information given by a person under Sec. 154 of the Code of Criminal Procedure does not by itself become evidence automatically. It can go in as evidence only to corroborate or contradict the evidence of the maker of it. It would be admissible in evidence under Sec. 157 of the Cri. Pro. Code.
