Peccadillo - A small sin or fault |
Our TIOL Exclusive today mentions this word.
“........ Proof of guilt is sustained despite little infirmities, tossing peccadilloes and peripheral probative short falls. The ‘sacred cows’ of shadowy doubts and marginal mistakes, processual or other, cannot deter the court from punishing crime where it has been successfully and substantially brought home. Supreme Court of India in In Narotam Singh v. State of Punjab, A.I.R. 1978. S.C. 1542.
