"A clear distinction was drawn between the circumstarlces where the witness only gets a glimpse of the accused who happened to lle a stranger to him and where although the witness had met the accused for the first time but he had seen him several times. lt was held that in the latter case thr nece5sity of holdinB an identiFication parade could be dispen!t'd with and the accused could even be identified in th€ Court for the first time. ln the present case the kidnapee had rentalne(l with the accused sufficiently lonB not only to identify therr) t)) their faces but to identify them even by their names. This is not a case whe.e a witness had only gotten a glimpse of the accused but in this case, admittedly he had remained with them during his captivity and had clearly seen th€ir faces. Therefore, in our opinion, holding o, an identification parade was not a mandatory requirement in the present case. The contention raised by the learned counsel for the appellants therefore, has very little force."
