A Bet Din may not accept witnesses who intentionally do not keep all aspects of Jewish law.
If one knows that the other witness is not Kosher, but the Bet Din do not, then one may not give testimony.
Similarly, if one knows that the 2nd witness will lie, one may not testify.
Applies to everybody, everywhere, always
Verse: "Do not give a hand to a wicked person to be a witness" (Shemot 23:1)
