Judgment text as reported

KIFAYATULLAH VS State Interested witness---Evidence---Scope---To believe or disbelieve a witness depends upon the intrinsic value of the statement made by him---Even otherwise, there cannot be a universal principle that in every case interested witness shall be disbelieved or a disinterested witness shall be believed---It all depends upon the rule of prudence and reasonableness to hold that a particular witness was present at the scene of a crime and that he is making a true statement--- Person who is reported to be very honest, above board, and highly respectable in society, but gives a statement that is illogical and unbelievable by any prudent man, would not be believed despite his nobility.
