In particular, the key witness Munshi came in for serious criticism. The judgment says, of his earlier repudiation of the FIR that "is now claiming that the said statement was recorded in Hindi while he had narrated the whole story in English as he did not know Hindi at all ... We do not find this explanation of Munshi to be convincing." Regarding Munshi's testimony that two guns were involved, the judgment says: "In court he has taken a somersault and came out with a version that there were two gentlemen at the bar counter. ... [We have no manner of doubt that on this aspect he is telling a complete lie."
