HOSHIAR SINGH vs STATE OF PUNJAB

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Sections 148, 149, 302, 302/149, 307, and 307/149 IPC for their involvement in a violent attack resulting in murder and attempted murder. The Court found that despite the acquittal of some accused, the prosecution's case was supported by credible eyewitness testimony from neighbors, and the evidence collected at the scene was sufficient to establish guilt. The Court dismissed the appeal, affirming the lower court's decision and emphasizing that the maxim 'falsus in uno falsus in omnibus' did not apply in this case.
