Code
Whoever, in
any declaration made or subscribed by him, which declaration any Court or any public servant or other
person, is bound or authorised by law to receive as evidence of any fact, makes any statement which is
false, and which he either knows or believes to be false or does not believe to be true, touching any point
material to the object for which the declaration is made or used, shall be punished in the same manner as
if he gave false evidence.
