My client is serving in PWD deptt as junior engineer,one contractor filed a affidavit alleging use of sub standard material in collusion with some other contractor and demanding bribe against my client before SE (BOSS of my client)which was after thorough inquiry found false,now my client wants to initiate legal action against above stated person for filing false affidavit,as i think this is not a case of perjury as affidavit was not filed in a judicial proceeding neither complaint/false affidavit was filed before police officer so no scope for 182 ipc ,now under which provision section i can initiate legal action ,kindly advice.Regards
