    Dear client it is totally valid and admisable. Section 1 18 does not specify the minimum or maximum age limit for a witness how ever there are few criteria that needs to be fulfilled in order to be a witness and a primary condition is soundness of mind.

    According to 118 The Act does not lay down any rules about the minimum age of a witness therefore even a child can be a witness under this Act.
