Syariah Court Evidence (Federal Territories) Act 1997 s 119
Where a witness has given his evidence by way of syahadah and the Judge has reason to believe that he is not ‘adil, the Judge shall order such witness to be examined as hereinafter provided. Explanation—If it appears to a Judge that a witness who has given syahadah is unworthy of credit he shall cause such witness to be examined to determine whether he is ‘adil or otherwise.
Menentukan bahawa saksi ‘adil
Jika seorang saksi telah memberikan keterangannya melalui syahadah dan Hakim mempunyai alasan untuk mempercayai bahawa dia tidak ‘adil, Mahkamah hendaklah memerintahkan supaya saksi itu diperiksa sebagaimana yang diperuntukkan kemudian daripada ini. Huraian—Jika didapati oleh Hakim bahawa seorang saksi yang telah memberikan syahadah tidak boleh dipercayai dia hendaklah menyebabkan saksi itu diperiksa untuk menentukan sama ada dia seorang yang ‘adil atau sebaliknya.
