--------------------

Though, we are not inclined to entertain the special leave petitions, but we find that there is a need for expressing views on action to be taken for maliciously setting law into motion.

The petitioner lodged a report against two persons at Pichhore Police Station to the effect that on 28.1.1993 between 6.00 to 7.00 a.m. she was waylaid by them who dragged her and committed rape on her, one after another.

The Trial Court found that the petitioner had tendered false evidence and had fabricated evidence against the accused persons with the intention that such evidence shall be used in the proceedings

petitioner who filed reply to the effect that being an illiterate lady, she had committed the mistake and may be excused

The evil of perjury has assumed alarming propositions in cases depending on oral evidence and in order to deal with the menace effectively it is desirable for the courts to use the provision more effectively and frequently than it is presently done.

She was, accordingly, sentenced to undergo three months' simple imprisonment.

In the case at hand, the court has rightly taken action

... "she had committed the mistake and may be excused"  ...  and when Mulayam Unkil says "sometimes boys make mistakes" a storm erupts across the entire nation.
