It was contended that the appellant was falsely implicated in the case.Per contra, Radhika Kolluru, Additional Public Prosecutor representing the State, supported the impugned judgment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The High Court relied on\u00a0<em>Govindaraju v. State,\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/zd6Q3hd6\">(2012) 4 SCC 722<\/a>, for the proposition that evidence of hostile witness ought to stand effected altogether, and that the same can be accepted on careful scrutiny, to the extent found dependable, and duly corroborated by other reliable evidence available on record. Relying further on <em>Mrinal Das v. State of Tripura,\u00a0<\/em>(<a href=\"http:\/\/scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/222j3xB4\">2011) 9 SCC 479<\/a>, the High Court observed:\u00a0<strong>&#8220;The legal position that obtains is that, the\u00a0evidence of a hostile witness remains admissible, and is\u00a0available for a Court to rely on the\u00a0dependable part thereof, as found acceptable and duly corroborated by other reliable evidence, available on record. Whether the testimony of a\u00a0<\/strong><b>hostile witness subject to scrutiny may be relied for nullified would depend on the circumstances of each case. It could be used for corroboration or he corroborated and relied upon or nullified for the availability of better evidence.&#8221;<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In light of above principle, the Court perused the evidence of the hostile witnesses and held that their testimonies could have relied on the instant case to the extent to which they were dependable and corroborated by the evidence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Similarly, appellant&#8217;s contentions regarding lack of proof of motive and discrepancy in evidence were also rejected, and it was held that no interference was warranted in the impugned judgment. Accordingly, the conviction and sentence awarded by the trial court was upheld and the appeal was dismissed.[Ashok v.
