As per case facts, an incident in 1976 resulted in two deaths and two injuries during an attack on a station wagon by multiple accused, including Amrik Singh, Satnam Singh, ... and Mohar Singh. Trilok Kumar, an injured survivor, became the sole eye-witness. Amrik Singh, who had absconded and surrendered later, was convicted by lower courts. In a separate trial, some co-accused were acquitted by the Sessions Court, but the High Court overturned the acquittal of Satnam Singh and Mohar Singh, convicting them. All three then appealed their convictions to the Supreme Court, challenging the reliability of the eye-witness, the impact of their initial non-disclosure of all names, and the re-evaluation of evidence. The question arose whether the sole eye-witness's testimony was reliable despite initial non-disclosure, if absconding was a valid circumstance, and if the High Court was justified in setting aside acquittals while upholding others based on the same evidence. Finally, the Supreme Court affirmed the reliability of the injured eye-witness, noting his critical condition excused initial incomplete disclosure and rejecting the 'falsus in uno falsus omnibus' principle. It held that Amrik Singh's absconding was a significant circumstance and found the High Court's careful re-appreciation of evidence and subsequent convictions of Satnam Singh and Mohar Singh to be sound and proper. Amrik Singh's conviction was modified to different sections but upheld, and the appeals of all three were dismissed.
