This is beyond belief. Why would STS commit perjury? You must produce his exact words before making such a claim.
STS could simply have said that he did not know where Imam was. Imam was not his prisoner for the Court to invoke Habeas Corpus.
Many people swear by God and Courts in some countries ask witnesses to swear by God. God, like Imam, cannot be made to appear. And there is no danger of a court demanding that God be brought in its presence. Neither would it ask a Hidden Imam to appear. Nor a Santa.
Taqiyya is denial of one's faith under duress or in face of threatening damage. I do not see how STS was under duress by Court in respect of the existence of Imam or in what way would an Indian court threaten the religion of Bohras. Thus taqiyya in this case is clearly not the case.
In other words. first produce the exact words STS used and then proceed to discuss taqiyya's relevance. This sort of talk betrays extreme ignorance of issues.
Brother, let me repost what i wrote, with certain parts highlighted, incase you missed it in in my earlier posts. People here have a habit of deliberately OMITTING/DELETING certain words when capturing some ones else posts, in order to paint a completely different picture, so allow me ....

SBM bhai, we all know about it, no need to refesh my memory. i have also given my hypothesis on why he denied it. i have posted that earlier too, am doing it once again to save you the trouble of searching for it.
this is
purely my hypothesis so its
an assumption on my part, and im admitting it to be so
according to me Taher Saifuddin Maula did perjury.

why he chose to lie in order to keep the Imam hidden is something i do not know. but like all Shias believe, the Imam will stay in purdah till the time is right.
you are now free to draw your own conculsions
