A person who knowingly gives false testimony in court is guilty of the crime of perjury. Even if the person has not been deposed or sworn in the traditional sense, the law presumes all such testimony given to be done so under oath and under the penalty of perjury. Perjury is a serious offense and if found guilty the person can be incarcerated and/or fined under state or federal law. Under federal guidelines if convicted the penalty is a maximum of 5 years in a federal facility and a $5,000 fine. States establish their own laws concerning the offense.

Whats the difference between a trial court and a appellate court?
USUALLY A TRIAL COURT IS WHEN SOMEONE IS TAKEN TO COURT FOR SOME REASON OR ANOTHER. THE APPELLATE COURT IS WHEN YOU WANT TO APPEAL A DECISION THAT WAS MADE BY THE JUDGE A trial court hears testimony, examines evidence, rules on the admissibility of evidence and objections of trial counsel, issues a judgment on the case, and imposes sentence or penalties/awards. A trial court may also impanel juries and give them instructions for deliberating. An appellate court only reviews the decisions of lower courts, which include trial courts and in some cases lower appellate courts. They do not hear testimony or examine new evidence. They only review the record of the lower court, and may hear oral arguments from the attorneys involved in the appeal. An appellate court may uphold the decision of the trial court, or return the case to the trial court for reconsideration or a new trial.

What does advisory power of the supreme court of India imply?
The Supreme Court has special advisory jurisdiction in matters which may specifically be referred to it by the President of India under Article 143 of the Constitution. This power implies Court's right to give advice, if sought. Under advisory jurisdiction, the President of India may refer any question of law or public importance to Supreme Court for its advice. But the Supreme Court is not bound to give advice. In case, the advice or the opinion of the Court is sent to the President, he may or may not accept it.
