Section 195

Giving or fabricating false evidence with intent to procure conviction of offence punishable with imprisonment

Whoever gives or fabricates false evidence, intending thereby to cause, or knowing it to be likely that he will thereby cause, any person to be convicted of an offence which by this Code is not capital, but punishable with imprisonment for a term of 7 years or more, shall be punished as a person convicted of that offence would be liable to be punished.

Illustration

A gives false evidence before a Court of Justice, intending thereby to cause Z to be convicted of gang-robbery. The punishment of gang-robbery is imprisonment for a term not exceeding 15 years, with or without fine. A, therefore, is liable to such imprisonment, with or without fine.
