Can affidavit or s. a. statement be amended

An affidavit once sworn in can not be amended in law. If a court ordered to amend it by over writing or over inking is wrong and the order will go.  The contents of the affidavit can be amended or corrected by sworn in another affidavit and the same affidavit can show the circumstances and the bonafide mistakes resulted in a fresh affidavit. But in law both the affidavits are valid and the weightage will be given to  either of the affidavits according to the merits of the case
