Grave Allegations of Judicial Fraud & Media Perjury
In a serious legal development, the Hon’ble Nagpur District Court has registered a Miscellaneous Judicial Case (M.J. Case No. 4549/2025) on 28th July 2025 against the prominent legal media portal Live Law. The petitioner, Adv. Partha Sarkar, has accused Live Law of filing a knowingly false and misleading affidavit in a pending ₹900 crore defamation case — an act alleged to be aimed at obstructing the course of justice and misleading the judiciary.
Offences Alleged:
The petition seeks criminal prosecution and contempt action under:
Sections 191, 192, 193, 196, 199, 200, 12(B), 34 of the IPC
(Offences including giving false evidence, fabricating evidence, false statements under oath, and criminal conspiracy)
Corresponding provisions under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS)
Contempt of Courts Act, 1971
(For interference with the administration of justice and scandalizing the court)
Case Highlights:
Live Law allegedly submitted a false affidavit under oath to mislead the Hon’ble Court.
The contents of the affidavit contradict established judicial records and verified applications on record.
The act is alleged to be a deliberate and coordinated conspiracy involving editors, legal officers, and reporters of the media house.
The petitioner has sought strict punitive action, including arrest, prosecution, and public accountability.
Statement from the Petitioner:
“This is not just about one false affidavit — it’s about defending the sanctity of court proceedings. Even media organizations must be held accountable when they lie under oath. This is a direct assault on the rule of law and will face a decisive legal response.”
