- Offence of perjury — One of the most heinous, social and moral offence. It is not only an offence punishable under law but is also against the injunction of Holy Quran. It is an evil which tends to disrupt the very basis of the social order and make a mockery of the judicial system, be it Islamic or otherwise. Any person who deliberately tells a lie during the solemn proceedings of a Court of law, knowing fully well that he is thereby likely to ruin the life or reputation of an innocent person or put into jeopardy his liberty falsely involving him in a criminal case — such accused does not deserve any leniency. Javed Iqbal Butt v. Abdul Ula But and 2 others 2014 SCR 372 (A)
