2023 YLR 1585
Dishonest improvements made by the witness --- Effect --- Accused were charged that they entered into the shop of complainant and made firing , due to which the complainant and a witness were hit and got injured --- In FIR it was the case of complainant that two accused made fires hitting on the mouth of injured , however when he came in witness box , he in his examination - in - chief improved the version by stating that both the accused made joint firing and it was the fire of one accused that hit on the lips of injured --- Said witness was duly confronted by defence from his previous statement but he could not offer any explanation for that improvement --- When important witness of the case improves his version during the trial to bring his evidence in line with the other declarations , his testimony remains of no worth for the prosecution --- Thus , the worth and veracity of two injured witnesses of the case was under serious doubts hence they could not be relied upon .
