False Evidence and Offences Against Public Justice
Causing a circumstance to exist, making a false record entry, or creating a document/electronic record with a false statement, intending it to appear as evidence in a judicial/official/arbitration proceeding and mislead the fact-finder on a material point, is "fabricating false evidence".
This is distinct from Section 227 (lying in your own testimony) - fabricating false evidence means planting or manufacturing fake evidence intended to mislead a later proceeding.
Planting stolen jewellery in someone's belongings specifically so it will be found and used to falsely convict them of theft is a textbook example of fabricating false evidence under this section.
