Settled law that person making contradictory statements

The Hon’ble Supreme Court of Pakistan while embarking upon such issue held in the case reported as Ibrar Hussain and others (2007 SCMR 605) as under:-

“It is settled law that person making contradictory statements cannot be held worthy and credence as law laid down by this Court in Muhammad Shafique Ahmad’s case PLD 1986 SC 471. It is a settled law that witness making improvements and changing version as and when suited according to the situation then such type of improvements were found deliberate and dishonest, therefore, cause serious doubt on the veracity of such witness.”

Similar view was taken by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of Pakistan in the case of Muhammad Naeem Inayat v. The State (2010 SCMR 1054).
