I have a question regarding perjury. The plaintiff filed a civil suit for recovery for around Rs 30 Lakhs. One of his pleadings were that that no C-forms were issued because of which he had to pay an additional tax of Rs 4 Lakhs. The court decided in the favour of the plaintiff and decreed for the entire amount of Rs 30 Lakhs.
Now, the defendant has obtained a document under RTI from the sales tax office that they have received a C-form against the mentioned invoices and that no additional tax has been demanded from the plaintiff. The defendant has already filed for an appeal against the previous order.
Can the defendant also initiate perjury proceedings against the plaintiff ?
