Hi Experts,
I have been falsely accused in 498a & DV cases. In the DV case, the petitioner has submitted 2 false photographs claiming proof of physical violence and that the act was performed on the same day the 498a was registered. (just before the FIR was filed for 498a)
However, the 498a FIR has no such details supporting the DV case. Also, with the help of RTI, I acquired the medical certificate (taken at the time of FIR 498a) which clearly states that "both parties are physically fit". No discernable injuries have been mentioned in the report.
1) Is there a specific IPC code i can use to file a new petition in higher court that the party or party's counsel has committed "Fabrication of Evidence" offense or perjury in the DV case?
2) Can I use the medical certificate and FIR details against the DV case? - Will this be a slow process compared to the above option?
3) If the outcome of #2 is in my favor, can I use that in the 498a case and quash it?
It had been just 1 year of marriage before the FIR was filed. There are no kids and she is an earning member with considerably good income.
Look forward for advice. Thanks in advance.

IPC 193, 199 AND 200. CRPC 340. You can make complaint in the same court.

Sir, I just read that 498a statement is not under oath or there is no sworn affadavit. So fabrication of evidence or perjury still can be applied in DV court ?
Or must i use the same in other court
Hello,
I would like to elaborate on the answer given by our learned lawyer Mr. Aarjun Vhajage.
Section 193 of IPC - Punishment for false evidence - This section will be applied for furnishing false evidence in court. The punishment under this section can be up to 7 years or fine or both.
Section 199 - A false statement made in declaration which is by law receivable as evidence.
Section 200 - Using as true such declaration knowing it to be false.—Whoever corruptly uses or attempts to use as true any such declaration, knowing the same to be false in any material point, shall be punished in the same manner as if he gave false evidence.
Feel free to ask if you have any further queries.
Regards,
Joy Bose
