Can i file perjury?

hello everybody,

in my divorce filed by me against my wife, she invoked section 24 to claim legal expenses of huge amount from me. she also didnt mention about her working job details and instead mentioned that she doesnt have independent source of income.

however, thru RTI i got reply from a private school about her job details. in the reply, the school mentioned that her services are terminated due to court and etc. as the reason.

pl let me know if i can file perjury against her as she supressed important information and didnt come with clean hands and wanted to grab money from me.

will filing perjury on her give me any benefit? are there any implications in my divorce case if i file that?

once filed, can i withdraw it at a later time?

thank yoU.

don't file perjury case instantly focus on your case and get it decided , you can exhibit it before the court against her claim of maintenance and get it rejected from the court , it will also give benifit in your divorce case also exhibit the same document and her petition of maintenance before the court and show her character and intention to misuse the law by concealment the facts .

See the date where she mentioned in the court that she does not have any income, if on that date she was employed and earning money, you can definitely file for perjury.

it will help you in your case, and the judge will not take her claims seriously
