Subsequently, he also came to know that a 3-yearold girl child was missing and that her dead body was found near the chawl. 49. Apparently, thus, while testifying on oath, the witness has made wholesale improvements from the version as set out in his statement under Section 164 of the CrPC wherein he did not utter a word about having seen the child victim on 30th September, 2013. These improvements are most vital and have a direct bearing on the credibility of the deposition of the witness (PW-14). We are convinced that the witness (PW-14) deliberately modulated and twisted the facts in order to lend succour to the prosecution’s case against the accused appellant. Thus, findings recorded by the trial Court as well as the High Court that the witness (PW-14) has given unimpeachable testimony supporting circumstance of the last seen together, are untenable and unsustainable on the 40 Criminal Appeal No(s). 1954-1955 of 2022
