    perjuryBy: R.Thyagarajan | 05-Nov-2009 Reply | Forward There are three things that a judge before whom a pejury case comes looks for1. Whether the initial statement by a respondent or a witness is is proved by an applicant to be false one2. whether the false staement is made by the respondent is with in his knowledge the statement is false.3. whether the applicant is made to loose meterially or monitorily a great loss by the false statement. Some judges take the first two condition as sufficient while some insist the third condition.In Indian courts the Perjury cases do come up rarely and the courts take the perjury statements as suitable to be considered only to help either respondent or applicant on the final verdict and not as a seperate case. When one is free untill othewise found guity before law, if courts sart taking perjury cases, there should be a seperate judge in Idian courts to deal with them.
