Analysis and Conclusion:
While interested witnesses are admissible in court, their testimonies are inherently susceptible to bias. Therefore, courts are mandated to scrutinize such evidence meticulously, considering motives, relationships, and corroborative proof to ascertain truthfulness. Proper evaluation of interested witnesses' credibility is crucial for delivering fair judgments, especially in sensitive cases like those under the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act or land disputes.
