Section 34B
Notwithstanding any written law or rule of law to the contrary, in any proceedings against any person for an offence under this Act or its regulations—
(a)
no agent provocateur, whether he is an authorized officer or not, shall be presumed to be an accomplice or be unworthy of credit as a witness by reason only of his having attempted to commit or to abet, or having abetted or having been engaged in a criminal conspiracy to commit, such offence if the main purpose of such attempt, abetment or engagement was to secure evidence against such person;
(b)
any statement whether oral or in writing made to an agent provocateur by any person shall be admissible in evidence at his trial; and
(c)
a conviction for any offence under this Act or its regulations solely on the uncorroborated evidence of any agent provocateur shall not be illegal and no such conviction shall be set aside merely because the court which tried the case has failed to refer in the grounds of its judgment to the need to warn itself against the danger of convicting on such evidence.
