Step 1: You move an application. Step 2: Court takes suo moto action or conducts inquiry. (From your writing, I think court has taken the 2nd option in step-2). Step-3: If inquiry is held, then it drafts a complaint which notes its findings and one of its officers signs it. This complaint will then be dealt by another magistrate (first class magistrate). - You would only be signing for your statements to that court. Step -3: Court decides as per law and its provisions. Since you say opponent has admitted perjury and has applogised, it means that you are through. Await the judgment. You have invoked Section 340 CPC.
