How mentioning Bani-Om incident can help Manu to win that Case.. ? - Page 4

No that wouldn't work - the law doesn't change simply because some, or even many, think that X person 'deserved' the push. The push, from a legal perspective, would only be officially supported if it was in self-defence/accidental. But not simply because Baba 'deserved' it. If that was the case, everyone would be taking the law into their hands because they feel the other deserves it. How much he deserved it may factor were Bani on trial, as part of her defence - but it doesn't add credibility to her testimony.

Again - the point is only to discredit her testimony in that particular instance - and just the fact that she pushed Baba is enough for that, legally.

Yes. IF the trial was to determine if Bani's push was legally correct, she would be guilty.(in the Bani Vs Om case) THE law doesn't justify 'based on how our reactions' would be. THE law is framed based on reactions and classifies which acts are legal and which illegal.

But Manu cannot justify that Bani is not a reliable witness for this case, based her actions in the past which had no relevance to this case.

And yes, I'm getting your point too.. once a criminal is not always a criminal.. so even though I understand what Manu apparently wanted to do but it was still a ridiculous example to discredit Bani's testimony..

Yes in this case Manu had no business to drag Banks old acts to discredit her as a reliable witness.

The judge was biased and acting as a puppet of Manu and did not possess the faculty to think and act independently.

I generally read your's and SP2684's postings as they are structured, logical and builds tempo in each successive rounds. (though the premise may not be correct- for me).
