Supreme court judgments on perjury required

Are there some SC judgments in which it has stated, something of this like:- Lying under oath is still criminal even if the lie is trivial & it is used to mislead the court, even if it has no direct effect on the case. Such person making false statements knowingly under oath shoud be punished?

If yes, post the links. Thanx in advance
