    Its a rule of caution as that the false evidence shall not be proved. At common law, it is the legal principle that a witness who testifies falsely about one matter is not credible to testify about any matter.“Supreme Court reiterates that the principle of 'falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus' (false in one thing, false in everything) is not applicable in India” It is a general presumption that if certain facts out of a narrative is false, then the entire narrative is also false.
