Select the correct statements:–

i. The very purpose of test identification parade is to test the veracity of witness on the question of identity, therefore if such parade is not held, to reliance could be placed on the evidence about the identity of the accused.

ii. Where a witness identifies an accused that is not known to him in the court for the first time, his evidence is absolutely valueless unless there has been a previous test 

identification parade to test his power of observation.

iii. The idea of holding test identification parade under section 9 of the Evidence Act is to test the veracity of the witness on the question of his capability of identity an unknown

person whom the witness may have seen only once.

iv. If no test identification parade is held then it will be wholly unsafe to rely on his testimony regarding the identification of an accused for the first time in the court.

v. Delay in test identification parade by itself cannot be a ground to reject identification if otherwise the same is acceptable.

vi. Delay, however, is a circumstance to be given weight since normal course of conduct is that a duty is discharged by the officers immediately if otherwise there is no impediment

and where delay is outcome of laches, bondfides to actions of the officers become doubtful.

vii. Where no laches can be inferred, mere delay by itself ought not to be a ground to reject the test identification parade. To draw an inference depends upon the judicial approach

of the judge considering the matter.

viii. T.I.P by witnesses is not regarded as substantive piece of evidence; no conviction can be recorded merely on the identification of accused.

ix. T.I.P by witnesses is a substantive piece of evidence and therefore, conviction can be recorded merely on the identification of accused.

x. The evidence of identification in parade on its own and independently, without evidence and identification in court, is of a very weak character rather no evidence and has only

corroborating value to the evidence in court.

xi. The evidence of identification in parade on its own and independently, without evidence and identification in court, is of a very weak character rather no evidence and has only

contradicting value to the evidence in court. 

xii. Where the accused person is not previously known to the witness concerned then identification of the accused by the witness soon after his arrest is of great importance.
