Definitely. if the opposite party has filed an affidavit which is false. you can file an application for holding them liable for giving false evidence and contempt. The proper legal recourse lies in filing detailed complaint to the court with the charges such as 194, 211 in which if the court is satisfied, it will proceed with directing the registration of complaint.
