Prosecution witnesses

The law no stands settled that the police witnesses are as good witnesses as any other witnesses, especially so when no enmity or motive on the part of police has been shown by defence for false involvement of the accused. Muhammad Asif v. The State 2002 SCR 108 (C)
There is no cavil with the proposition that even on the criminal side the Supreme Court as well as the other Criminal Courts have the powers of review — In the instant case powers of review could not have been exercised keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case for the following reasons:- That the application moved by the convict-appellant was not coached as an application for review petition nor any prayer was made to this effect, and
It is settled principle of law that it is the prerogative of prosecution to produce any prosecution witness, cited in the calendar of challan, or to give up anyone of them — Shariat Court while directing the trial Court on the application of accused that evidence of P.W. 16 be recorded earlier, has deprived the prosecution of the privilege and prerogative which vests in it — On the application of accused persons it is not desirable to order for recording of statement of prosecution witness out of turn because this gives an impression to the litigants in particular and to the public in general that attitude of the Court is not fair and impartial — Famous maxim must always remain in the mind of the Court that ‘justice should not only be done but it should appear to have been done’.
