Judgment text as reported

YASIR PARVEZ VS State Dishonest improvements made by witness---Scope---If improvements are found to be deliberate and dishonest, same would cast doubt qua the veracity of the testimony of such witness of ocular account and no reliance can be placed on such testimony for conviction on a charge entailing death penalty for the simple reason that when a witness makes dishonest improvement while deposing before the court, he simply exposes himself to his own dishonesty that ipso facto is sufficient to discard his evidence by counting him a dishonest person.
