Yes, the Court can do so.
Added; (in the US) It all depends on WHOSE witness is lying. It is pretty much understood that the defendant and their witnesses will not tell the truth. A case will not be dismissed because of this.
If a prosecution witness is caught in a lie, the court must determine just how badly that witnesses's false testimony impacted the case. If their lie damaged the case irrevocably it is more likely the judge will declare a mis-trial rather then simply dismissing the entire case. But... anything is possible.

Yes, a plaintiff can typically refile a dismissed case if it was dismissed without prejudice, meaning the case was dismissed for reasons that do not prevent refiling.

It's important for the plaintiff to understand the specific reasons for dismissal and any applicable statutes of limitations before refiling. Consulting with a legal professional is advisable to navigate the complexities of the situation.

Can a court case be dismissed if the plaintiff does not show but his attorney does?
Not in a criminal case. In such cases the prosecuting attorney represents all of the people of the state and/or country and therefore represents the orignal plaintiff/victim. A civil trial is basically the same, if the plaintiff has legal representation. For example, a credit card company sues for debt owed. It is understood that the CC's legal counsel if the plaintiff by proxy and has the right to "prosecute" the case. If the civil suit has been brought by an individual plaintiff representing themselves, he or she must be present at the time of the trial or the case will be dismissed (generally w/o prejudice). Likewise, if legal counsel does not appear the case will be dismissed.

Plaintiffs do not charge. They file lawsuits. The plaintiff can always file, but if the case is dismissed with prejudice, a new filing cannot be litigated.

If the case is dismissed without prejudice, it means that it has been voluntarily dismissed or dismissed for some reason to allow the case to be refiled and re-litigated later.

If a case is dismissed with prejudice at the defendant's cost, it means that the plaintiff wins the case.

What is Plaintiff's application is dismissed with costs?
I think this means when the Plaintiff's case is dismissed, meaning the court is not going forward with the charges, and with the costs, means the Plaintiff is responsible for the court costs. Usually this is done when the court feels the case isn't supported by facts, or evidence, or that the case shouldn't have been filed to begin with. Now it has been a while since a worked in the court system, but I think this still holds water.
