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.
