Nothing in section 154 of the Evidence Act, shall disentitle the person so permitted under sub-section (1), to rely on any part of the evidence of such witness.

Notwithstanding in section 154 of the Evidence Act, may disentitle the person so permitted under sub-section (1), to rely on any part of the evidence of such witness.

Explanation:

- Option 1: Suggests nothing within section 154 may prevent reliance on a witness's evidence. This could be misleading by omitting "shall," missing the legal intent.

- Option 2: Uses "Notwithstanding," implying section 154 inherently disentitles reliance, reversing the actual meaning.

- Option 3: Correctly states that section 154 shall not prevent reliance on any part of a witness's evidence. This aligns with the legal interpretation allowing reliance despite prior inconsistencies.

- Option 4: Uses "Notwithstanding" and "may," which also misconstrues legal intent by suggesting a possibility of disentitlement.

Option 3: Nothing in section 154 of the Evidence Act, shall disentitle the person so permitted under sub-section (1), to rely on any part of the evidence of such witness.
