Can a Muslim give wrong testimony or even hide testimony?

کیا کوئی مسلمان جھوٹی گواھی دے سکتا ہے یا گواھی کو چھپا سکتا ہے؟

Surah An-Nisa: 4 - Ayah: 135
Arabic
يٰۤـاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا كُوۡنُوۡا قَوَّامِيۡنَ بِالۡقِسۡطِ شُهَدَآءَ لِلّٰهِ وَلَوۡ عَلٰٓى اَنۡفُسِكُمۡ اَوِ الۡوَالِدَيۡنِ وَالۡاَقۡرَبِيۡنَ​ ؕ اِنۡ يَّكُنۡ غَنِيًّا اَوۡ فَقِيۡرًا فَاللّٰهُ اَوۡلٰى بِهِمَا​ فَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا الۡهَوٰٓى اَنۡ تَعۡدِلُوۡا ​ۚ وَاِنۡ تَلۡوٗۤا اَوۡ تُعۡرِضُوۡا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ خَبِيۡرًا‏
English
Believers! Be upholders of justice, and bearers of witness to truth for the sake of Allah, even though it may either be against yourselves or against your parents and kinsmen, or the rich or the poor: for Allah is more concerned with their well-being than you are. Do not, then, follow your own desires lest you keep away from justice. If you twist or turn away from (the truth), know that Allah is well aware of all that you do.
Urdu
Aey logon jo iman laye ho, insaf ke alambardaar aur khuda wastey ke gawah bano agarchey tumhare insaaf aur tumhari gawahi ki zadh (against) khud tumhari apni zaat par ya tumhare walidain aur rishtedaaron par hi kyun na padhti ho, fareeq maamala khwa maaldaar ho ya gareeb, Allah tumse zyada unka khair khwa hai. Lihaza apni khwahish e nafs ki pariwi mein adal (insaf) se baaz na raho aur agar tumne lagi lipti baat kahi ya sacchayi se pehlu bachaya to jaan rakkho ke jo kuch tum karte ho Allah koi uski khabar hai
