If it comes court's knowledge that some one lying before the court and presents false evidence, court on sou moto or on the application of the opposite party can make an enquery and can issue show cause notice to the other party.

persury is concerned it is the court has to see u may file a compaliant against them to under section 181 and 182 of the IPC against him but so far as the persury is concerned it is not a fraud played upon the court so the question taking against them is difficult.

section 340 criminal procedure code is the appropriate remedy for which court can file a criminal case against such person at its own motion. move an application in this regard.

Makkad sir and Doda jee is quite right and you may also to see that whether they have given their evidance on affidavit or not. you may force them to say this on affidavit and that will be in your favour on the plateform suggested by makkad sir.
