History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v4.c63.327

v4.c63.327

⁵²⁸ The fact that a party requested a witness to give false evidence is, admissible evidence against such a party, it being an admission by conduct that the party has a bad case. Vide Cockburn C. J. in *Moriarty v. London Chatham and Dover Ry. Co.*, L. R. 5 Q. B. p. 314 at p. 319 'if you can show that a plaintiff has been suborning false testimony and has endeavoured to have recourse to perjury, it is strong evidence that he knew perfectly well his cause was an unrighteous one'. Vide illustration *e* to section 8 of the Indian Evidence Act.
