False Evidence and Offences Against Public Justice
Corruptly using (or attempting to use) a declaration known materially false, as true, is punished the same as giving false evidence - a declaration inadmissible only due to informality still counts.
This is the companion using-offence to Section 236, and clarifies that a merely technically-defective declaration still counts for these purposes.
Presenting a known-false declaration as genuine, even one that's technically inadmissible only due to a minor formality, still triggers liability under this section.
