Anyhow for your satisfaction you can file such perjury case as under:  ========================================================== How to file perjury in India ? How to file perjury in India ? In order to sustain and maintain sanctity and solemnity of the proceedings in law courts it is necessary that parties should not make false or knowingly, inaccurate statements or misrepresentation and/or should not conceal material facts with a design to gain some advantage or benefit at the hands of the court, when a court is considered as a place where truth and justice are the solemn pursuits. If any party attempts to pollute such a place by adopting recourse to make misrepresentation and is concealing material facts it does so at its risk and cost. Read a judgment about the above in Vijay Syal Vs. State of Punjab PROSECUTION OF PERJURY: 1. Legal obligation to state the truth 2. The making of a false statement . 3. Belief in its falsity . Criteria for establishing offense: (a) The statement is false (b) The parson making the statement knew or believed it to be false or did not believe it to be true. (c) The statement was made intentionally. All three criteria must be proved for conviction. Intention is most important. False evidence is said to be given intentionally, if, the person making the statement is aware or has knowledge that it is false and has deliberately used such evidence in a judicial proceeding with the intention of deceiving the court .
