According to Article 67 of the QSO (Qanun-e-Shahadat Order), bad character is relevant only if:
- Accused is a public figure
- Prosecution demands it
- The accused has no lawyer
- Good character is also introduced
Explanation
- As a general rule, bad character is not relevant in evidence.
- It becomes relevant only if the accused first proves good character.
- Once good character is shown, the opposing party may introduce bad character in rebuttal.
- This ensures a fair balance between prosecution and defence.
