Definitely you can file complaint before concerned police and upon failure to take cognizance you may file private criminal case against him before concerned magistrate court.you need to appoint a lawyer because case under perjury are very technical and there's bar under section 195 to file complaint sp only lawyer can guide you after verifying all the details.

it is better to wait till he deposes in the court. you shall have an opportunity to cross examine him and prove his falsehood before the court. then court it self can proceed against him under s. 340. meanwhile you can sit with a good criminal lawyer and find out how you can file more criminal complaints against him.
