Re: what�s the punishment

Filing a false affidavit or making some wrong statement in some judicial proceeding is definitely an offence and is punishable. When an offence of the nature as referred in Section 195 CrPC appaear to have been committed in relation to proceeding in a court by any person, such court under Section 340 CrPC can initiate a criminal case against such person. "Giving false evidence" is defined in Section 191 IPC. "Fabricating false evidence" is defined in Section 192 IPC. Both these offences are punishable, under Section 193 IPC, with upto 7 years imprisonment. No person can be allowed to take the law so lightly so as to file such brazenly false statements/affidavit. Though the law of perjury in India is not as strong as in developed countries, but still there are provisions in law, as mentioned above, to take care of such situation.
