Too long a story for consideration and obligation.

It is better to consult and engage a local prudent lawyer for proper analyses of facts, professional advise and necessary proceeding.

R.K Nanda (Advocate)     11 June 2025

Search local lawyer for proper legal guidance. 

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Advocate)     11 June 2025

Perjury case is not maintainable because she has not perjured law. 

If you are fighting the maintenance case you may follow it up. 

If the divorce decision had aggrieved you then you could have preferred an appeal. 

You can choose a lawyer suiting your test either from this forum or outside. 

P. Venu (Advocate)     12 June 2025

Yes, in the given facts, it is impossible to make out a case for perjury; your option is persuing remedies through appeal/revision.

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Advocate)     13 June 2025

Your query is about the legal ramifications of filing a perjury case in India, specifically using the combination of sections 229 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) and 193 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), as well as under the new Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

In essence, your query is exploring how perjury cases are handled, what legal sections apply, and what the potential consequences are when someone intentionally gives false evidence in a legal proceeding.

But from your contents, which are narration of the events that took place in the legal battle, do not hint about any act of perjury.

You may please note that false statements on a form with that statement could lead to perjury charges.

Someone doesn't commit perjury if they make their statement at any other time. 

Therefore you may ascertain the facts leading to the commission of perjury and then proceed only if you are  sure of it.

Sir, her main allegation in all of her Srikakulam family court cases was I am impotent so she can't lead her life with me claiming maintenance and divorce all but she suppressed the fact that they during her 498A complaint mediation at her native police station, already took me to a doctor and after performing all the required tests to me "no impotence found", I have that mediation copy obtained via R.T.I. from police station along with a copy of that test report too. Is this kind of material fact suppression by her not enough to pursue perjury or 193 IPC?

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Advocate)     14 June 2025

The suppressed fact must be material, meaning it is relevant and significant to the case. It should have a bearing on the decision-making process. 

Courts have recognized that suppressing information about previous legal proceedings, or intentionally withholding relevant documents, can be considered perjury or a fraud on the court.

Perjury, as defined by Indian Penal Code, is the act of knowingly making a false statement or suppressing a material fact under oath. 

Therefore you may analyse the details and see if her acts could attract the act of perjury  and proceed through your advocate.

Sir, I am just curious to ask, if a woman deserts a man and claims all reliefs from the court by stating that he is a impotent and if that said cause impotent is false, is it not material suppression of fact sufficient enough to file perjury and/or 193 BNS because if the said cause is a lie then that desertion is not caused by husband it's actually wife's own decision thereby not entitled to maintenanace, isn't it sir.. (here I am not interested to challenge divorce because such lier person need not be in my life so limiting my discsussion to maintenance only now)

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Advocate)     15 June 2025

The relevant subject matter or the pleadings of each case can n be challenged on merits instead of experimenting with non maintainable provisions of law.

Nobody will be perfect in their pleadings, most of  the pleadings are made either by exaggerating the subject with fabricated information or with untrue particulars, which are to be challenged during trial proceedings, if you start using the perjury option for each and every issue that was narrated in the pleadings, then the legal process may not come to an end.

You may discuss with an experienced local lawyer and proceed as suggested
