Punishment for issuing false certificate-
assistant
The correct answer is  Sec 197 IPC states that whoever issues or signs any certificate required by law to be given or signed, or relating to any fact of which such certificate is by law admissi­ble in evidence, knowing or believing that such certificate is false in any material point, shall be punished in the same manner as if he gave false evidence.
