My daughter-in-law (DIL) has filed a complaint against my son + 5 family members 6 years ago and won an ex parte award for interim maintenance. The trial is yet to start. She has in the complaint lied about my son's salary. His correct salary has been accepted by the sessions & HC to reduce the quantum of maintenance. She has lied about us having stolen her stridhan though it was offered in writing to her prior to her filing the case. It has been subsequently returned in the police station by us. She has lied that she was staying in a different rented accommodation in order to claim rent as part of maintenance as notices sent on the address were returned with the remark "No such person here."
Given these proven lies can we file a case of perjury against her? Is it time barred? If proven can the PWDVA complaint be dismissed?
