If an approver fails to comply with the conditions of the pardon – for instance, by giving false evidence or withholding information – the pardon can be revoked. In such cases, the approver can be tried for the original offense for which they were granted immunity, as well as for perjury (giving false testimony under oath). This acts as a deterrent against approvers providing false or incomplete information.

The court plays a crucial role in ensuring the fairness of the process. Before accepting an approver's testimony, the court must be satisfied that the pardon was offered voluntarily and that the approver understands the terms and conditions. The court also assesses the credibility of the approver and the consistency of their testimony with other evidence.

There is a distinction between an approver and other witnesses. An approver is an accomplice who is granted pardon, while other witnesses are not involved in the crime but possess relevant information. The testimony of an approver is viewed with greater skepticism than that of an ordinary witness because of the approver's involvement in the crime and their potential motive to shift blame or minimize their own culpability.

The Evidence Act governs the admissibility and relevance of evidence in Indian courts. While the testimony of an approver is admissible, the Act emphasizes the need for corroboration. Section 114(b) of the Evidence Act states that the court may presume that an accomplice is unworthy of credit unless they are corroborated in material particulars. This highlights the caution with which approver testimony is treated.

The use of approvers is not without controversy. Critics argue that it can lead to unreliable testimony, as approvers may be motivated to implicate others falsely in order to secure their own freedom or reduced sentence. There are also concerns about the potential for coercion or manipulation by law enforcement agencies to induce accomplices to become approvers.

In cases involving multiple accused persons, the testimony of an approver can be particularly valuable in establishing the roles and responsibilities of each individual. For example, in a conspiracy case, the approver can provide insights into the planning and execution of the conspiracy, as well as the involvement of each conspirator.

The Supreme Court has, in several cases, laid down guidelines for evaluating the testimony of approvers. These guidelines emphasize the need for careful scrutiny, independent corroboration, and a balanced assessment of the approver's credibility. The courts have also cautioned against relying solely on approver testimony without seeking other supporting evidence.
