False - Indian Laws - General

Word False According to the Black s Law Dictionary (6th Edition), the word false has two distinct and well-recognized meanings: (1) intentionally or knowingly or negligently untrue; (2) untrue by mistake or accident, or honestly after the exercise of reasonable care. A thing is called false when it is done, or made, with knowledge, actual or constructive, that it is untrue or illegal, or is said to be done falsely when the meaning is that the party is in fault for its error. Likewise, P. Ramanatha Aiyar in Advance Law Lexicon (3rd Edition, 2005) explains the word false as: In the more important uses in jurisprudence the word implies something more than a mere untruth; it is an untruth coupled with a lying intent......or an intent to deceive or to perpetrate some treachery or fraud. The true meaning of the term must, as in other instances, often be determined by the context . [DURGA STEEL ROLLING MILLS THRU. PARTNER AMIT ARORA- 2024 (3) TMI 791 - ALLAHABAD HIGH COURT]
