  1. That it is relevant to state here that petitioner in her Domestic Violence Case and Affidavit filed before this Hon’ble Court, specifically, on oath, stated/pleaded and re-affirmed her facts regarding her not earning and depending on her parents for survival  (which had already been pleaded in her case) which, with due respect are totally false and incorrect as at that particular period also, she has been working,  for which several plethora of documents have already been filed by the respondents, however, at that relevant time, this Hon’ble Court has ignored to take into consideration such documents with observation that same shall be subjected to consideration after adducing of evidence by the parties with further view that same are photocopies only, authenticity of which can be adduced further after evidence.     It is further respectfully submitted that now from the pleadings of the petitioner pleaded in her amendment application (seeking amendment of DV case) relating to her employment, it stands crystal clear that it is only to avoid from the contempt and perjury in the form of Section 340 Cr.P.C. she has now pleaded/sought amendment of pleadings with respect to her “employment”, which stand of the petitioner, clearly shows about her conduct and suppression of material facts, pleaded/asserted at the time of grant of interim maintenance.    Moreover, from her pleadings of employment, it is crystal clear that she has given the wrong information and filed false affidavit, on oath, alongwith DV Case before this Hon’ble Court.     Thus, by giving/filing false affidavit/evidence, on oath, before this Hon’ble Court regarding her employment, petitioner has committed offences (relating to documents given in evidence as per Section 195 (b) (i) of Cr.P.C.) under Sections 191, 193, 196, 200 of the Indian Penal Code, which led to filing of present application by the respondent before this Hon’ble Court u/s 340 Cr.P.C. for initiating an inquiry against the petitioner for the offences referred to in Clause (b) of sub-section (1) of Section 195 Cr.P.C. for consideration by this Hon’ble Court as the petitioner, on oath, has given false facts/evidence regarding her employment.     Further, the respondents are also filing some authentic documents  taken from the Internet, showing her employment status [linked in profile] as “Credit Manager” with HDB Financial Services Limited (a Subsidiary Company of HDFC Bank]; her EPFO status, her salary account number ____________________, her PAN Card Details, Copy of FORM 26 AS,  are annexed herewith and marked as Annexure A-2.

  1. It is further respectfully submitted that even the Hon’ble Supreme Court in a well known dictum rendered by a three bench judgment reported in (2002) 1 SCC 253, titled, Pritish Vs. State of Maharashtra and Ors. And the Gujarat High Court cases has deprecated the practices adopted by the wife claiming maintenance from husband but suppressing her own income and initiation of criminal prosecution against the wife on such suppression of material facts and giving wrong information on oath before the Courts. Relevant judgments shall be dealt with and produced at the time of hearing of the present application.

 

  1. Thus, from the aforesaid submissions, it is crystal clear that petitioner in the Domestic Violence Petition as well as in her affidavit [filed in support of DV Case] has asserted/pleaded wrong facts regarding her employment and suppressed the material facts relating to her employment, to anyhow gain the unjust enrichment from the respondents and to anyhow obtain the interim order for maintenance, thus, which fact clearly shows beyond doubt the conduct of the petitioner, with further clarification that she has not approached with clean hands before this Hon’ble Court and has made perjury by filing the petition/affidavit, on oath, by giving wrong information, which attracts penal provisions of Section 340 Cr.P.C., whereby and thereby, it is humbly prayed that this Hon’ble Court may initiate an enquiry for the offences committed by the petitioner referred to in Clause (b) of sub-section (1) of Section 195 of the Indian Penal Code.

 

  1. The present application is made bonafide and in the interest of justice.
