Falsifying personal data on an affidavit

Hello, What are the consequences of falsifying occupation data on an affidavit? This particular individual has been appointed as an administrator to a Wakf property. And happens to be a govt employee (teacher). But on an affidavit, in order to file a caveat, he swears that his occupation is "Private Work". Can any legal action be taken on this? **We're about to move to the high Court for staying the order that appoints him as the administrator **The govt order states him as a government employee.

Perjury is a criminal offense punishable for 7years u/Sections 191/193/195/199 IPC for which criminal proceedings can be suo motu initiated against the maker by court u/Section 340 Cr. PC. As he has wilfully falsified information details at time of making affidavit he can be severely penalized with simple to rigorous imprisonment under these provisions.

It may be typographical mistake also. You you doubt the intigrity of the person then you can object to his appointment as 'administrator'.
