IPC section 209 IPC section 209

4 weeks ago

Someone filed a case on me claiming rights on a land that I got through family partition. He is not related to me in anyway. He doesn't have any evidence linking him or his forefathers to this property. The case is already in court and reached the stage of argument. I have submitted all evidence in my support and even exposed the opposite party with their forefathers family partition deed which has no reference to the suit property. I would like to know whether I can plead in the court to punish the plaintiff under IPC section 209 for unnecessarily filing this case to annoy me?
