Posted on March 17, 2019 by ShadesOfKnife

(2) In every such case the Court shall follow, as nearly as may be practicable, the procedure prescribed for summary trials.

Mahila Vinod Kumari Vs State Of M.P on 11 July, 2008

Posted on August 10, 2018 by ShadesOfKnife

Hon’ble Supreme Court held that perjury proceedings initiated by Trial Court and High Court does not suffer from any infirmity and as such the petitions were dismissed,

As she resiled from the statement made during investigation, she was permitted to be cross-examined by the prosecution. She even denied to have lodged the first information report (Exh.P-1) and to have given any statement 1 to the police (Exh.P-2). In view of the statement of the petitioner, the two accused persons were acquitted by judgment dated 28.11.2001.

Another gem of the mindset of some women and her family members

Learned counsel for the petitioner stated that being a girl of tender age, she was pressurized by her mother and uncle to give a false report. This is at variance with the statement made in court during trial to the effect that she had not reported anything to the police.

Purpose of Section 344, Cr.P.C.

The purpose of enacting Section 344, Cr.P.C. corresponding to Section 479-A of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Old Code’) appears to be further arm the Court with a weapon to deal with more flagrant cases and not to take away the weapon already in its possession. The object of the legislature underlying enactment of the provision is that the evil of perjury and fabrication of evidence has to be eradicated and can be better achieved now as it is open to the courts to take recourse to Section 340(1) (corresponding to Section 476 of the Old Code) in cases in which they are failed to take action under Section 344 Cr.P.C.

Conditions to initiate CrPC 344 proceedings

For exercising the powers under the section the Court at the time of delivery of judgment or final order must at the first instance express an opinion to the effect that the witness before it has either intentionally given false evidence or fabricated such evidence. The second condition is that the Court must come to the conclusion that in the interests of justice the witness concerned should be punished summarily by it for the offence which appears to have been committed by the witness. And the third condition is that before commencing the summary trial for punishment the witness must be given reasonable opportunity of showing cause why he should not be so punished. All these conditions arc mandatory. [See Narayanswamy v. State of Muharashtra, (1971) 2 SCC 182].

Posted on April 27, 2018 by ShadesOfKnife

Is it a crime to lie under oath in India?

Yes.


Any person can initiate Perjury Proceedings

Section 340 of Cr.P.C. contains the law procedure that has to be followed in Perjury proceedings.

Section 195 of Cr.P.C contains offences against public justice and for offences relating to documents given in evidence.

Section 344 of Cr.P.C contains the law procedure that the Court can invoke against any witness appearing in such proceeding who had knowingly or wilfully given false evidence or had fabricated false evidence with the intention that such evidence should be used in such proceeding.


These are 30+ various provisions under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) that cater to definition and punishment for various perjuries of opposite parties and other public servants.

As per CrPC sec 195(1)(a), the following is the list of 18 provisions of contempt to the lawful authority of public servants. Key here is, a complaint can only be filed by such public servant or by a superior officer of such public servant. Generally Police folks and their bosses. No private complaint under 190/200 CrPC maintainable:
IPC 172: Absconding to avoid service of summons or other proceeding
IPC 173: Preventing service of summons or other proceeding, or preventing publication thereof

IPC 186: Obstructing public servant in discharge of public functions
IPC 187: Omission to assist public servant when bound by law to give assistance
IPC 188: Disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant

As per CrPC sec 195(1)(b), the following is the list of 16 provisions of contempt to the lawful authority of Courts. Key here is, a complaint can only be filed by such Court or by such officer of the Court as that Court may authorise in writing in this behalf, or by a superior Court of such Court. Generally Trial Courts and their Appellate Courts. No private complaint under 190/200 CrPC maintainable:

IPC 193: Punishment for offenses u/s 191 & 192 IPC
IPC 194: Giving or fabricating false evidence with intent to procure conviction of capital offence
IPC 195: Giving or fabricating false evidence with intent to procure conviction of offence punishable with imprisonment for life or imprisonment

Terms used in judgments are misrepresentation, unclean hands, fraud on court, misuse of administration of justice etc if you are searching for judgments online.

Here are the judgments for your usage in your cases under above IPC sections.

IMP NOTE: Apart from the listed (and implied) sections, there are many more provisions of IPC which can be filed as a direct complaint as per 154 CrPC, 155 CrPC or 190/200 CrPC. The said procedure under sec CrPC 340 does not apply to those sections. Like IPC 218 etc.


Additionally, such contemnors are liable for punishment under Contempt of Courts Act, 1971 as well, at the State High Court.
