Find out the correct statements:-

(i) Section 8 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 declares that motive, inter alia, is a relevant fact for which evidence may be adduced. Motive is that state of mind which  compels one person to do a particular act. For every voluntarily act, there is usually an impelling motive behind.

(ii) Since Motive is physical fact, it can be fathomed by the conduct of the person. The facts of previous threats, altercation, litigation etc. manifest motive.

(iii) Proof of motive only adds weight and value to evidence of prosecution.

(iv) If motive is proved, it will be a contradictive piece of evidence. But if the prosecution is not able to prove motive, it will not be a ground to throw away the prosecution case

or corrode its credibility.

(v) As per explanation 1 to section 8 of the Evidence Act, the conduct of a party interested in any proceeding at the time when the facts occurred out of which the proceedings arises is extremely relevant. Therefore, the word ‘conduct’ includes statements even if does not accompany and explain the acts.

(vi) Motive is not a necessary element in deciding culpability but is an equally important missing link which can be used to corroborate the evidence.
