A.Hello Client,
Filing false affidavit comes under section 191 of IPC and is punishable u/s 193 of IPC.
however, the Advocate has stated all the facts as according to the facts given by the client so the client is liable here.
Thanks & Regards

Filing of false affidavit when the court has asked for an affidavit also draws the offence of contempt of court u/s 2 of contempt of court Act.
Case Law: In the case of Murray & Co. v. Ashok Kr. Newatia, (2000) 2 SCC 367 : AIR 2000 SC 833, the Supreme Court held that a false statement deliberately made in an affidavit before the court amounted to contempt of court.
Likewise, in the case of M.C. Mehta v. Union of India, (2003) 5 SCC 376 : 2003 Cri LJ 2045 : AIR 2003 SC 3469, the Supreme Court held that filing a false statement or false affidavit amounts to contempt of court.
