Re: Criminal
Seems an academic question, anyways.
A person is convicted when the charges brought against him are proved by evidence. Evidence is oral or documentary. Confessions/Admissions are important elements of evidence law. In general criminal cases the burden is always on the prosecution to prove the case. In company/corporate fraud under certain sections, the burden in on the accused. All persons are competent to testify unless the court finds otherwise. A conviction is not illegal merely because it proceeds upon co-accused testimony. A hostile witness is witness who goes against the party which calls him.
Your questions are too general. For such information, please see The Evidence Act, 1872. It will be helpful if you can be more specific.
