The petitioner in High Court has filed an affidavit referring an Order in EP which was dismissed 7 years before and obtained favourable orders from High Court
A.Dear Client,
The law governing affidavits in India is the Indian Evidence Act, 1872. Section 191 of the said Act states that any person who is legally bound by an oath or affirmation to state the truth of any matter and makes a false statement in his/her affidavit is guilty of the offense of perjury which carries with it the possibility of imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to seven years and shall also be liable to fine. Further, Section 193 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 states that any person who makes a false statement in an affidavit or any other document, knowing it to be false, shall be punishable with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three years, or with fine, or with both. Section 191 of the IPC deals with the filing of false evidence, while section 340 of the Cr. PC outlines the process for making a complaint for this offense. Perjury is defined as the filing of false evidence or a false affidavit before a court knowing that it is false.
