Is Criminal Case possible

(Querist) 08 November 2010 This query is : Resolved 
In a Specific Releif Suit the Government department filed a Written Statement. The Plaintiff filed rejoinder contesting the Written Statement.

Then that Government Department failed to file A Counter and was set exparte.

Now can the Plaintiff file a Criminal Complaint for filing a False Written statement against that Government Department

Plese advise.

Thanks in advance.

No. It does not amount to an offence at all. the court has to conduct the trial and decide whether they are true or not. The govt has the right to file a petition to set aside the exparte order as well. You have to wait and watch without hurrying up things.
