One must have seen it in movies where people are asked to swear by ‘Geeta’, the Holy book. The court considers that a person will not lie in the name of God. However, Delhi High Court has put a man behind bars for a month on charges of lying on oath. The court said it will be a great public disaster if the fountain of justice is allowed to be poisoned by anyone giving false statements in a court of law.
Justice Manmohan said as the man had admittedly made false statements under oath, the court was of the view that it struck a blow at the rule of law and no court could ignore such a conduct, which had the tendency to shake public confidence in the judicial institutions because the very structure of an ordered life was put at stake.
