Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants under Sections 148 and 302 IPC, affirming the Madras High Court's decision while acquitting four co-accused. The Court found that the evidence of PW-13, despite being deemed unreliable for the co-accused, was sufficient to establish the guilt of the appellants. The principle of 'falsus in uno falsus in omnibus' was rejected, emphasizing that not all evidence must be credible for a conviction to stand.
