Whoever legally bound by an oath or by an express provisions of law to state the truth, The opening words of s. 191 'whoever being legally bound by an oath or by an express provision of law to state the truth........' do not support the submission that a man who is not bound under the law to make an affidavit, can if he does make one, deliberately retrain from stating truthfully the facts which are within his knowledge. The meaning of these words is that whenever in a court of law a person binds himself on oath to state the truth he is bound to state the truth and he cannot be heard to say that he should not have gone into the witness box or should not have made an affidavit and therefore the submission that any false statement which he had made after taking the oath is not covered by the words of s. 191, IPC is not supportable. Whenever a man makes a statement in court on oath he is bound to state the truth and if he does not, he makes himself liable under the provisions of s. 193. It...
