Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the acquittal of the accused under Section 302/34 IPC was not justified, as the High Court properly sifted through the evidence, despite some discrepancies among witnesses. The Court reiterated that the principle 'falsus in uno falsus in omnibus' is not a sound rule, emphasizing that minor untruths do not invalidate the entire prosecution case. The convictions of Sohrab and Nadar were upheld, sentencing them to life imprisonment and additional punishment under Section 25-A of the Arms Act.
