BABAN SINGH AND ANR. vs JAGDISH SINGH & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the appellants' actions fell under Sections 191 and 192 of the Indian Penal Code, as their false affidavits were intended to mislead the court regarding a compromise. The Court clarified that in cases involving offenses under these sections, only Section 479-A of the Code of Criminal Procedure applies, ruling out the invocation of Section 476. Consequently, the High Court's order to file a complaint under Section 199 IPC was set aside, affirming the need for action under Section 479-A instead.
