Concealment of Information amounts to Perjury

MSC Shekar (Querist) 06 December 2010 This query is : Resolved
A Government Department has information regarding a revenue matter in two registers : Register A and Register B.

When in a Civil Suit, in the Written Statement they provide the information stating that the Plaintiff name is not in Register A without verifying Register B.

Here it is important to note that Government Department in the above information does not give clearly in writing that there is only one Register called Register A.

In this case concealment of information is clearly evident.

My question hence is "Whether concealment of information in the Written Statement amounts to Willful Perjury ?"

Kindly advise.

Thanks in advance

If the Written statement is supported by affidavit or the same facts are given through affidavit then it is perjury .
