Quick Summary

Submitting civil suit documents such as plaints and affidavits that contradict their own exhibits can indeed amount to perjury. This is particularly true if you can prove that the statements made under oath within these documents are false. Misrepresenting facts to the court through sworn statements is a serious offence, and contradictions in filed documents can be used to your advantage.

Of course it would be perjury, if you are able to prove that the averments made therein the affidavit are false.

Hello,

Making false statements before the court is perjury. In your case, false/contradictory statements were made about the documents which were filed on record. So as per my opinion, these are contradictions you can take benefits of the statements made.
