Sec 177 & 182 are applicable to criminal matters, these are not applicable to civil nature cases.
Whatever contention taken in the petition has to be disproved by the respondent.

perjury action can be initiated in such matters. move an application to initiate action under section 340 cr. PC against such person.

Furnishing false information in a petition per se is not an offence. The information so provided is verified to be true to the best of his knowledge. But, if the same information is provided in an affidavit, it becomes an offence and invites provisions of criminallaw.
