Testimony of a Witness cannot be Discarded in toto merely due to the Presence of Embellishments or Exaggerations [SC JUDGMENT]
Evidence Law - testimony of a witness cannot be discarded in toto merely due to the presence of embellishments or exaggerations. The doctrine of falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus, which means “false in one thing, false in everything” has been held to be inapplicable in the Indian scenario, where the tendency to exaggerate is common.
