Arvind @ Lala vs State Of M.P. on 11 May, 2022
Similarly, in the matter of Asharam Tiwari vs.
State of Madhya Pradesh, reported in (2021) 2 SCC 608, the
Hon'ble Apex Court has held that if PW1 and PW4 are both
injured witnesses and they were found to be reliable and truthful,
then there is no reason why they would falsely implicated another.
The Hon'ble Apex Court has further held that failure to examine
any available independent witness is inconsequential. It is quality
of evidence and not number of witnesses that is relevant. Merely
because witnesses being related to deceased, that by itself would
not affect the credibility of testimony of such witnesses.
