In a Civil Suit a government department filed a false Written Statement just to drag on the case. Can take any criminal action against that Government Department?

Thanks in advance

There is nothing criminal about it, you have to bring it to the notice of the Court about the falsity of the statement by adducing adequate evidence.

no criminal case is maintainable here ,put the real doc. before the court and get the justice.

the WS must be supported by an affidavit. Once they depose the facts in their evidence, you can trap them in cross and move an application u/s 340 CRPC at that stage

I feel Mr. R Ramachandran is correct.

However, if you could make a prima facie case of falsity then you could file a petition u/s 340 crpc so the civil judge send the petition to the Magistrate to make necessary inquiry and to issue process.

If you are able to prove about falsity of the W.S/affidavit, you may move a petition u/s 340 crpc.
