perjury evidence in civil suit

S.AROKIADOSS (Querist) 25 November 2009 This query is : Resolved
Sirs
If a person gives perjury evidence in a civil suit, the time limit within which criminal proceedings can be initiated.

Does the appeal also counted as the main suit for the above purpose or treated as a separate case?

Further information regarding this may be furnished.

A person has proved to be giving false evidence in the course of cross examination. Can he be permitted to continue? Is there any order/judgment pertaining to this?

Thanks

it should be initiated till the trial of the suit completes. Appeal is treated as continuation to the suit but it remains a separate suit. He may be allowed to continue but can be contradicted and benefit out of his evidence may be taken by other party if aA person gives false evidence. Though criminal action under section 340 Cr. PC is also available in such matters.
