If the circumstances under which affidavit was sworn has changed subsequently and the statement made in affidavit no more holds good due to the change circumstances, i feel one can execute a fresh affidavit cancelling the earlier .  However, be careful in court matters &  consult your lawyer before withdrawing affidavit.

AI Summary

Withdrawal of affidavit possible when circumstances change; execute a fresh affidavit and consult counsel first.
Where circumstances materially change so that the original sworn assertions no longer hold, one may execute a fresh affidavit that supersedes or cancels the earlier affidavit; full disclosure of material facts is required and legal advice should be sought before altering sworn statements in court proceedings.
