Abstract

Perjury is one of the crimes that harm criminal justice; Action against criminal justice means behavior that affects people's right to access the justice system or society's right to prosecute and punish criminals. The witness is considered a reason to prove disputes in both legal and criminal complaints, and due to the importance and value of the evidence, perjury has its specific implications. In our criminal justice system, testimony is a way of legal knowledge and reasoning to diagnose crimes committed by the accused. The testimony is not used in criminal matters, and ignoring his way is not against the accused. Consequently, truth is essential, and testimony cannot be used if it is not true. This paper expresses various forms and numerous aspects of perjury along with its definition, discusses perjury as part of the behavioral and psychological approach of sociology, and finally analyzes the laws of Perjury in Pakistan along with the relevant sections of the Pakistan Penal Code, 1860 (PPC), Qanoon and Shahadat Ordinance, 1984 (QSO) and The Oaths Act, 1873 and other &Islamic provisions of laws relating to perjury.
