This query is : Resolved
If anybody file petition in the Court, allegating someone else, subsequently allegations either didn't prove due to lack of evidences or evidences were not sufficient or proved to be false. Is there difference between two? and can that body can file suit for perjury in both situation?

No , false statement in a legal proceeding is not sufficient for defamation . You must prove publication for taking action against defamation.
