Courts never seem to want to enforce sec 193 for false evidence. It was evident in CBI's report in coal scam when AG made false statements in SC. Now, Sahara has submitted false affidavits claiming refund of Rs 22000 cr and then, again promising to refund this amount thr' Bank Guarantee and what not. Yet, SC is not considering invoking Sec 193 for false evidence. If false evidence is not supposed to be punishable, why don't they delete the section and make it easy for everybody to benefit? Currently, only the bold and powerful are benefiting while common man is scared. Even he should be entitled to defend his cases through false evidence, after all, equity before law is everybody's fundamental right. Isn't it?

Vague query! In fact, answer to your "WHY" can be given only by Minstry of Law, as none of us is comptent to speak on behalf of the said Ministry, So, you may ask this question from the Ministry of Law.
