Gangadhar Behera And Ors vs State Of Orissa on 10 October, 2002
or "interested" witness may lead to failure of justice. It is well
known that principle "falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus" has no
general acceptability [Gangadhar Behera v. State of Orissa,
(2002) 8 SCC 381, pp. 392-93, para 15 : 2003 SCC (Cri) 32] . On
the same evidence, some accused persons may be acquitted
while others may be convicted, depending upon the nature of the
offence. The court can differentiate the accused who is acquitted
from those who are convicted. A witness may be untruthful in
some aspects but the other part of the evidence may be worthy of
acceptance. Discrepancies may arise due to error of observations,
loss of memory due to lapse of time, mental disposition such as
shock at the time of occurrence and as such the normal
discrepancy does not affect the credibility of a witness."
