“In order to ascribe any values to the evidence of an eye witness identification of a criminal, the Court in guarding against cases of mistaken identity must meticulously consider the following issues:- 1. Circumstances in which the eyewitness saw the suspect, was it in difficult conditions? 2. The length of the time the witness saw the suspect at a glance or longer observation? 3. The opportunity of close observation 4. Previous contact between the two parties 5. The lighting conditions.
