Ajman, UAE

I registered an appeal in Ajman for a criminal order with fake witnesses. How to avoid that?

An appeal is registered by me in Ajman for a criminal order. The original punishment is 2 years in jail and deportation.

Now I have pointed out my old grudges and case against the old witness. Now they are arranging new fake witnesses.

What should I do to stop them from giving fake witness statements against me?

Because before in trial court witnesses gave fake statements and I was punished.

Now I pointed out their fakeness and now they are arranging new fake witnesses to give fake testimony against me.

1) Will the judge entertain new fake witnesses that will come without being called by the appeal judge?

2) They were never a part of the investigation in police, prosecution, and trial court now they are coming only because old witnesses are already pointed out by us.

3) What should I do to stop them from giving fake testimony against me?

Please advise and guide on all three points in detail. Because the new witnesses are fake like the old ones that I have already pointed out.

In an appeal process, judges typically do not consider new witnesses or evidence unless they are relevant and significant; thus, if new witnesses who were not involved in the original investigation attempt to testify solely to undermine previous witnesses, their credibility may be questioned, and their testimony could be deemed inadmissible.

To address concerns about potential false testimony, it's important to consult with legal counsel, gather supporting evidence to challenge the credibility of these new witnesses, consider filing motions to exclude their testimonies, prepare for effective cross-examination, and document all relevant interactions.

Dear Questioner,

New witnesses may not be entertained unless relevant. Their sudden appearance raises doubts.

You can challenge them by filing a motion, highlighting contradictions, and requesting cross-examination.

If fabricated, report witness tampering. Contact us for legal action.
