Cases reported in (2013) 5 SCC Part 4 – June 28, 2013 Shivasharanappa v. State of Karnataka, (2013) 5 SCC 705 (Criminal Appeals No. 1366 of 2007 with No. 508 of 2007, decided on May 7, 2013): Behaviour of witnesses or their reactions differ from situation to situation and individual to individual. Expectation of uniformity in reaction of witnesses would be unrealistic but court cannot be oblivious to conduct that is too unnatural even taking into account unpredictability of human conduct and lack of uniformity in human reaction. Court must determine whether in circumstances of case, behaviour of witnesses concerned is acceptably natural allowing for variations. If behaviour is absolutely unnatural, testimony of witness may not deserve credence and acceptance.
