Fraudulently suffering decree for sum not due
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 that is due to such person or for
any property or interest in property to which such person is not entitled, or
fraudulently causes or suffers a decree or order to be executed against him
after it has been satisfied, or for anything in respect of which it has been

Illustration
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.
