The Hon’ble Supreme Court of Pakistan in the case of
Muhammad Rafique, etc. v. State & others (PLJ 2011 SC 191) held
as under:-
“that if any party withholds the best piece of evidence then it can
fairly be presumed that the party had some sinister motive behind
it. The presumption under Article 129 (g) of Qanun-e-Shahadat
Order can fairly be drawn that if PW would have been examined,
his evidence would have been unfavourable to the prosecution.”
