The provision operates as an alternative summary mechanism for dealing with perjury and does not curtail the court's power under Section 340(1) where appropriate. Applying these requirements, the courts found that the petitioner had given false information and admitted doing so, so the summary procedure was validly invoked and the punishment was upheld. en-us Fri, 11 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 09 Nov 2017 15:06:32 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=195749 Section 344 CrPC permits a court to summarily punish perjury only if, at the time of delivering judgment or final order, it forms an opinion that the witness intentionally gave false evidence or fabricated evidence, considers summary punishment necessary in the interests of justice, and gives a reasonable opportunity to show cause.
