section 191(IPC):- Whoever, being legally bound by an oath or by an express provision of law to state the truth, or being bound by law to make a declaration upon any subject, makes any statement which is false, and which he either knows or believes to be false or does not believe to be true, is said to give false evidence.

Explanation 1.–A statement is within the meaning of this section, whether it is made verbally or otherwise.

Explanation 2.–A false statement as to the belief of the person attesting is within the meaning of this section, and a person may be guilty of giving false evidence by stating that he believes a thing which he does not believe, as well as by slating that he knows a thing which he does not know.

In the case of K. Karunakaran v. T.V. Eachara Warrier and Anr. , the Supreme Court held that the Court on an application under Section 340 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is primarily concerned with the question whether a prima facie case is made out which if un-rebutted may have a reasonable likelihood to establish a specific offence and whether it is also expedient in the interest of justice to take such action. The Court is really not concerned with the result of the main case. Once false statements are made in the proceedings of a suit, this would have a great bearing in forming of the opinion by the Court. The Supreme Court in the above case, where the complainant before the High Court under Section 340(1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure stated that action should be taken against Shri Karunakaran for making false averments in the affidavit filed in a writ petition before the High Court, held as under :-

"26. It is well-settled that this Court under Article 136 of the Constitution would come to the aid of a party when any gross injustice is manifestly committed by a Court whose order gives rise to the cause for grievance before this Court. Even when two views are possible in the matter it will not be expedient in the interest of justice to interfere with the order of the High Court unless we are absolutely certain that the two pre-conditions which are necessary for laying a complaint after an enquiry under Section 340 are completely absent. The two pre-conditions are that the materials produced before the High Court make out a prima facie case for a complaint and secondly that it is expedient in the interest of justice to permit the prosecution under Section 193, IPC."

It is a case for invoking section 340. You do not require judgments on the provision as the judges know that false deposition on oath is punishable in accordance with the procedure prescribed under section 340. You have to lead documentary evidence to prove the false statements made by the respondent.
