Moni Manjusha Nandy vs Gregory Simpson and another — 41/2021

Summary: The Court dismissed the plaintiff's petition filed under Section 340 read with Section 195 of the Criminal Procedure Code, which sought to initiate perjury proceedings against the defendants for allegedly making false statements regarding property ownership and tenancy. The Court found no material evidence at the preliminary stage to conclude that the defendants made false affidavits, noting that substantive questions regarding the defendants' 50% title claim and the landlord-tenant relationship can only be determined after recording full evidence. Additionally, the Court allowed the plaintiff's prayer to retrieve original judgments from a 1961 High Court appeal on undertaking to refile them when required.
