Judgment text as reported

TAWEEZ KHAN VS State Witness---Hostile witness---Scope---No doubt a witness who has been declared hostile will not become unworthy of reliance, and his evidence cannot be brushed aside if found true and credible, but since said witness has spoken in two different voices and two different tones, his evidence has to be assessed with much more care and circumspection---May be said witness is telling the truth when exonerating the accused, or he is telling the truth when charging him---Only those voices and tones of witnesses can be considered worthy of reliance supported by sources essentially unimpeachable because one tainted piece of evidence cannot corroborate another.
