?11. While appreciating the evidence, the court has to take into
consideration whether the contradictions/omissions were of such
magnitude so as to materially affect the trial. Minor contradictions,
inconsistencies, embellishments or improvements in relation to trivial
matters, which do not effect the core of the case of the prosecution,
must not be made a ground for rejection of evidence, in its entirety.
The trial court, after going through the entire evidence available,
must form an opinion about the credibility of the witnesses, and the
appellate court in the normal course of action, would not be justified
in reviewing the same again, without providing justifiable reasons for
the same. (Vide: State v. Saravanan, AIR 2009 SC 152).
