Maintenance perjury

Since wife filed the sec 24 , There shall be case number associated . So perjury would be in the case itself thus Petitioner is wife & husband is respondent. But the facts mentioned should have begun with "respondent states that " and size by the respondent.

Generally, RCR is called petition and not application. So, in RCR Husband - Petitioner Wife - Respondent; Section 24 is called application; Wife - applicant Husband - Non-applicant (some call Respondent, but better call him non-applicant) S. 340 cr.p.c. is called complaint (some call it application) Husband - complainant (Applicant) Wife - Respondent (non-applicant)

Husband is the petitioner in RCR, wife is the petitioner in the petition filed u/s 24 of HMA.  If the husband filed a petition u/s 340 cr.p.c., he becomes the complainant in that petition. 

Applicant and complainant is one and the same in the petition filed u/s 340 cr.p.c.  If the husband in his petition u/s 340 cr.p.c. has mentioned that the applicant as his wife then he may be referring to her IA filed under section 24 of HMA in which the matter perjuring the law has been observed, in which the petitioner has been mentioned as the applicant/wife in his perjury petition.
