THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY
Balshiram Rambhau Awate vs The State of Maharashtra Decided on 23 March, 1977
Equivalent citations: 1978 CriLJ 821
Bench: Deshmukh, Aggarwal
JUDGMENT
Deshmukh, J.

6. However, we are sorry to find that the learned trial Judge having taken a correct view of the situation did not proceed logically to issue notices to at least three of the prosecution witnesses for having committed perjury. Two courses were open to him. He could have taken action under Section 344 Cr.PC summarily and arranged to punish them there and then. It was also open to him to hold a summary inquiry Under Section 340 (1) of the Cr.PC and decide whether a complaint should be filed. In this regard the learned trial Judge has shown some inaction. We find that the Police Patil and the Kotwal being public servants could not be allowed to run away scot-free from the Court in spite of committing perjury. In the same manner victim Damo- dar who has received several injuries at the hands of his brother cannot play fast and loose with the Court. We are thus satisfied that it is necessary to take action against these three witnesses for having committed the offence of perjury. We would therefore hold a preliminary inquiry in that behalf as contemplated by Sub-section (1) of Section 340 Cr.PC

Vittappan vs State, Decided on 9 April, 1987
Equivalent citations: 1987 CriLJ 1994
Bench: S Padmanabhan
S. Padmanabhan, J.
JUDGMENT
10. A court directing prosecution for perjury is not vindicating the grievance of any party. The action is mainly to safeguard the prestige and the dignity of the court and to maintain the confidence of the people in the efficiency of the judicial process. What the court is mainly interested in is seeing that administration of justice and dignity of the court is not flouted. The Sessions Judge did not specifically find on which aspect the appellant gave false evidence and whether that evidence was purposely made or whether it had any real impact on the decision of the case. In fact he did not even consider whether any perjury was committed. This is evident when he refused to express any opinion on that aspect and said that what he is concerned under Section 340 is only to see whether an enquiry is necessary or not. The only opinion formed by him for filing the complaint is that interest of justice demands an. enquiry as to whether the appellant committed the offence of giving false evidence in court. I am of opinion that the Sessions Judge has not complied with the mandatory provisions of Section 340 of the Code and filed the complaint after passing the impugned order without the requisite satisfaction and without understanding the legal provision correctly. In fact the materials make it clear that this is not a fit case where it was expedient in the interest of justice to have an enquiry under Section 340 of the Code much less a prosecution. The impugned order and consequently the complaint must go.

DEAR SIR,
I NEED CITATION/REPOTER/BOOK WITH PAGE NO....... PLS IF ANY BODY PROVIDE....THANKINGU


High Court of Allahabad

Reserved

Criminal Revision No.6203 of 2006

Satendra Kumar Gupta Vs. State of U.P. and another

Hon. A.K. Roopanwal, J.

This criminal revision is directed against the order dated 27.9.06 passed by the
Family

Court, Gorakhpur in criminal case no.340/03, Smt. Kanchan Gupta Vs. Satendra
Kumar

Gupta, under Section 125, Cr.P.C. whereby the court allowed the application and

granted maintenance of Rs.3,500/- p.m. to O.P. No.2 and Rs.3,500/- p.m. for her
son

from the date of the petition under Section 125, Cr.P.C.

It appears from the record that an application under Section 13, Hindu Marriage
Act was

moved by the revisionist against O.P. No.2 before the Family Court, Gorakhpur
and this

was registered as case no.54/03. The wife Smt. Kanchan Gupta also filed an
application

under Section 125, Cr.P.C. against the revisionist Satendra Kumar Gupta for her

maintenance and for the maintenance of her son and this case was registered as
case

no.340/03.

The case of the revisionist was that O.P. No.2 had neglected him and is not
taking his

care and therefore, their marriage be desolved by a decree of divorce. The Case
of O.P.

No.2 was that the husband had neglected her and her son and therefore, the
divorce

suit filed by the husband was liable to be dismissed and she and her son are
entitled to

maintenance. Both the parties led oral and documentary evidence in support of
their

cases. The trial court framed as many as six issues for decision of the case.
After

perusal of the evidence the trial court dismissed the application for divorce
which is not

the subject matter of this revision as the only prayer has been made before this
court is

about the maintenance under Section 125, Cr.P.C. filed by the wife. The
application for

maintenance was allowed in the manner stated above which gave rise to this
revision.

I have heard Mr. Dilip Gupta, learned counsel for the revisionist, Mr. K.K.
Mishra for

O.P. No.2 and perused the record.

Mr. Gupta argued that the trial court has wrongly assessed the income of the
revisionist

and has also wrongly fixed the quantum of maintenance, therefore, findings in
this

regard are liable to be quashed. In this regard he argued that the trial court
based his

findings on the basis of that record which was subsequently found to be not
reliable by

the court itself and therefore, the above findings should be quashed and matter
be

remanded back to the
court for afresh decision. The above argument was refuted
by the

other side.

A look at the impugned judgment would reveal that the findings regarding the
income

and the quantum of maintenance have been recorded by the trial court on the
basis of

the record of the income tax assessments for certain years relied upon by the
wife. The

husband challenged the truthfulness of these records by moving an application

under Section 340, Cr.P.C. even during the continuance of the proceedings but
the

trial court decided the application under Section 125, Cr.P.C. without deciding
the

application under Section 340, Cr.P.C. However, after the decision of the
application

under Section 125, Cr.P.C. on 27.9.06 the same court decided the application
under

Section 340, Cr.P.C. vide order dated 26.2.07. In the last paragraph of this
order it was

observed by the court that the judgment in case no.340/03 has been obtained by
the

wife on the basis of forged evidence. The application under Section 340, Cr.P.C.
was

allowed by the court and criminal proceedings were instituted against the wife
and

others. Learned counsel for the revisionist says that in view of the decision on
the

application under Section 340, Cr.P.C. judgment passed in the proceedings under

Section 125, Cr.P.C. cannot be allowed to stand and therefore, this should be
set aside.

Learned counsel for O.P. No.2 argued that the procedure adopted by the trial
court for

the decision of the application under Section 340, Cr.P.C. is not a correct
procedure and

therefore, the argument advanced by the learned counsel for the revisionist
should not

be accepted.

In my opinion, it cannot be a valid consideration for deciding the controversy
between
the parties as to whether the procedure in initiating the proceedings under
Section 340,
Cr.P.C. adopted by the trial court was correct or wrong. The only consideration
for
testing the propriety of the judgment under Section 125, Cr.P.C. is as to
whether the
decision on the application under Section 340, Cr.P.C. can be a valid
consideration or
not for deciding the application under Section 125, Cr.P.C. and in that regard
it can
safely be said that once findings recorded on the application under Section 340,
Cr.P.C.
have not been set aside by any competent court of law, hence, these findings are
binding upon the parties and in view of these findings this can very well be
said that the
evidence on the basis of which the wife got judgment in the proceedings under
Section
125, Cr.P.C. cannot be said to be a good judgment as this judgment is based on
that
evidence which has been held to be forged by that very court which had decided
the
proceedings under Section 125, Cr.P.C.
In view of the above, I am in agreement with the argument advanced by the
learned
counsel for the revisionist that the judgment and order passed in the
proceedings under
Section 125, Cr.P.C. registered as case no.340/03 are liable to be quashed and
the
matter is liable to be remanded back for afresh decision.
Accordingly, revision is allowed. Judgment and order dated 27.9.06 is set aside
so far
as it relates to the proceedings under Section 125, Cr.P.C. registered at case
no.340/03. The matter is remanded back to the trial court for afresh decision on
the
basis of the evidence on record. The parties may be allowed to lead fresh
evidence, if
they so like.
Dated:22.2.08

Need citation 340 crpc reg...........

Dear sir,
Need citation, 340 crpc, Perjury Citations
1. IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
Civil Appeal No. 5239 of 2002, Decided On: 03.12.2009
Appellants: Dalip SinghVs Respondent: State of U.P. and Ors.
Hon'ble Judges:
G.S. Singhvi and Asok Kumar Ganguly, JJ.
ORDER
1. For many centuries, Indian society cherished two basic values of life i.e., 'Satya' (truth) and 'Ahimsa' (non-violence). Mahavir, Gautam Buddha and Mahatma Gandhi guided the people to ingrain these values in their daily life. Truth constituted an integral Dart of justice delivery system which was in vogue in pre-independence era and the people used to feel proud to tell truth in the courts irrespective of the consequences. However, post-independence period has seen drastic changes in our value system. The materialism has over-shadowed the old ethos and the quest for personal gain has become so intense that those involved in litigation do no hesitate to take shelter of falsehood, misrepresentation and suppression of facts in the court proceedings. In last 40 years, a new creed of litigants has cropped up. Those who belong to this creed do not have any respect for truth. They shamelessly resort to falsehood and unethical means for achieving their goals. In order to meet the challenge posed by this new creed of litigants, the courts have, from time to time, evolved new rules and it is now well established that a litigant, who attempts to pollute the stream of justice or who touches the pure fountain of justice with tainted hands, is not entitled to any relief, interim or final.
If any body have ..pls. post...thanking u.
