the evidence on record, the Court finds that the case put forth by the
prosecution is trustworthy. It was further laid down by the Hon'ble Apex
Court that when the evidence of the official witnesses are trustworthy and
credible, there is no reason not to rest the conviction on the basis of their
testimonies.
