Can anybody change statement in court once it has recorded?

Sir,

In a civil case,if two persons agree on some points and lodge it it the court.

They both mention these points in affidavite and submit it to the court before the judge, on first hearing.

Can any one of them retract/change his statement on later hearing?

 The bona fide  mistakes of clerical nature can be corrected either on agreement or by an adjudication if it is contested

No sir, there is not any mistake of either type.

I am asking,

On second or third hearing, can a person retract from his statement, given on first hearing before judge?

(as i thinks it is not possible because testimony once given cant be changed otherwise his testimony will be disqualified)

Dear querist

its depend on the situation, what is the matter? it is most important, who is the witness? the witness can say that due to pressure or due to force he/she gave the statement before court.

You can file one affidavit, and mention clear what you want to amend.

I dont see any problem

It can be corrected on all rounds which are available to defeat the agreement under the law of contract
