Suppose a woman files for divorce. And her lawyer makes her sign some blank documents which she does unwittingly. While proceeding with the case the lawyer mentions her status as unemployed. If the woman now obtains a NOC from her first lawyer and takes the services of a second one.
She did not make any monetary claims. But the opposite party files a suit of perjury against her. Can she be punished with imprisonment for this even when she had clearly stated her employement status to her lawyer? And if yes, is it bailable? How much can the quantum of sentence be?
