Section 340 CrPC / Perjury Proceedings

Section 340 CrPC / Perjury Proceedings

Section 340 CrPC perjury proceedings are initiated to protect the sanctity of judicial proceedings and to address offences relating to false evidence, fabrication of documents, and deliberate misstatements made before courts. Section 340 CrPC empowers courts to take action when the administration of justice is threatened by perjury or misleading conduct. Such proceedings require a careful balance between preventing misuse of the provision and ensuring that genuine cases of perjury are lawfully addressed.
