This query is : Resolved
in a matter before the court, the respondent to get a favourable order placed some document along with written statement as such the case was dismissed but later on when an application was moved by petitioner showing fakeness of document the court recalled its order and in due course held the respondent guilty..
(quantum of punishment is yet pending)
My query, Respected Lawyers, is whether the court would also "consider" punish on account of furnishing wrong document or it is necessary for petitioner to move separate application under crpc 340 later ?

The court can not take suo moto cognizance but you will have to move an application u/s 340 Cr PC.
