Value of Expert Evidence:

 

Expert evidence must be viewed not as a piece of substantive evidence of a conclusive nature, but as a piece of corroborative evidence to other evidence in the case. The court is not bound to accept the opinion of an expert automatically, but the grounds on which he gives his opinion would carry value to the evidence. Matters for consideration for the judge in this regard are:
  1. Facts and circumstances of the case
  2. The extent to which the guilt of the accused person depends upon the expert testimony
  3. The nature of the expert testimony
  4. The credential and the qualifications of the expert
  5. The circumstances in which he came to figure as a witness
  6. Reliability of the facts on which the expert based on his opinion
