Under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, 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. Which offence has Z committed?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 245 of the BNS punishes a person who fraudulently causes or suffers a decree to be passed against him for a sum not due or for more than is due, and the illustration to section 245 says Z commits this offence. So the answer is "Fraudulently suffering a decree for a sum not due, under section 245". Z made no claim in Court himself, did not remove or conceal any property, and did not personate anyone.
