This query is : Resolved
Whoever fraudulently or dishonestly, or with intent to injure or any person, makes in a Court of Justice any claim which he knows to be false, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to two years, and shall also be liable to fine.
Does this section apply for making dishonest claim in family court. Or it is limited to criminal and civil court.
