Gupta,  Adv. with  him for the appellants. Kuldip singh  and R.S.

The High Court has  given good  reasons for not placing reliance upon any of  those witnesses.  We have carefully gone through the evidence and  we find that their evidence suffers from major infirmities as  pointed out  by  the  High  Court.  We  are, therefore of  the opinion that no interference is called for by this court.      The appeal is, therefor, dismissed.
