- It is a settled principle of law that while appreciating the statement of a witness the whole statement is to be taken into consideration — It is not desirable that a piece of statement favouring the prosecution should be picked up and used in support of the case of prosecution, on the other hand the requirement of law is that the statement of a witness is to be read as a whole and then to draw an inference either in favour of prosecution or against it — Evidence of Mst. Begum Jan who has allegedly last seen the accused in company of deceased and thereafter deceased was found as dead does not inspire confidence and is not worthy of any explicit reliance. Muhammad Mushtaq v. State 2001 SCR 286 (B)
- If the statement of a witness is not challenged in cross-examination the same is considered to have been admitted by the opposite side. Abdul Latif v. Safarish Ali Khan 2002 SCR 288 (B)
