Reply To: Maintenance under section 125 crpc
Here first point is, why husband deposit 10 lakhs on his wife and children? was it due to a court order for maintenance? or did he do it for an out-of-court settlement? Does the husband have any proof to show that he already made a settlement?
Secondly?
Any person who filed false evidence or an affidavit or fabricated the false evidence before any court can be tried under section 340 crpc read with section 195 PC. On the filing of such complaint the court will inquiry into the matter and punish the accused for perjury. but the other party shall have substatial evidence to prove the perjury.
