PART III - RELIGIOUS COURTS-CONSTITUTION AND JURISDICTION
(2) Evidence shall ordinarily be given on oath in a form binding upon Muslims, but the Court may on special grounds dispense with an oath and take evidence on affirmation. An affirmation shall be in the form:
"I .......................(Name) solemnly affirm that my evidence shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." Whether on oath or on affirmation a witness shall be bound to state the truth.
(3) If in the opinion of the Court any witness has wilfully given false evidence i any proceedings, the Court may report the matter to the Public Prosecutor or, alternatively, may exercise all such powers as are by section 12 of the Oaths and Affirmations Ordinance, 1949, conferred upon a Magistrate of the First Class in a like case, subject always to the restrictions and conditions prescribed by the said section. Any person sentenced under the provision of this sub-section shall have the right of appeal as if he had been sentenced under the said Ordinance.
