Official textFrom Attorney General's Chambers, unchanged
Whoever fraudulently causes or suffers a decree or order -
to be passed against him at the suit of any person for a sum not due, or for a larger sum than is due to such person, or for any property or interest in property to which such person is not entitled;
or
to be executed against him after it has been satisfied or for anything in respect of which it has been satisfied,
shall be punished with imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years, fine or both.
A institutes a suit against Z. Z, knowing that A is likely to obtain a decree against him, fraudulently suffers a judgment to pass against him for a larger amount at the suit of B, who has no just claim against him, in order that B. either on his own account or for the benefit of
Z, may share in the proceeds of any sale of Z's property which may be made under A's decree. Z has committed an offence under this section.
