Giving up material witnesses

Where material witnesses would be given up by the prosecution, inference could be drawn that if they would have appeared in the court, they might have disclosed true picture of the incident with reference to the absence of accused from the place of occurrence

Prosecution was not legally bound to produce all the witnesses because it was the quality of the evidence, but not quantity which would matter

Defence was always at liberty to summon a prosecution witness, who had been given up with an object to unearth true facts before the court

Adverse presumption as covered under Art.129(g) of Qanun-e-Shahadat, 1984, could be drawn against accused that the given up witnesses were not ready to authenticate his plea of alibi.
