231. 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 the law for the time being in force in
India is not capital, but punishable with imprisonment for life, or
imprisonment for a term of seven years or upwards, shall be punished as a
person convicted of that offence would be liable to be punished.
Illustration.
A gives false evidence before a Court, intending thereby to cause Z to be
convicted of a dacoity. The punishment of dacoity is imprisonment for life,
or rigorous imprisonment for a term which may extend to ten years, with or
without fine. A, therefore, is liable to imprisonment for life or
imprisonment, with or without fine.
