Timing of filing criminal case

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 31 December 2011 This query is : Resolved
Respected Experts,

Wish you and your families Happy, Healthy, peaceful and wonderful 2012.

I have documents(with signatures on stamp paper) that my relatives committed multiple unlawful acts like:
-forgery
-misrepresentation of facts (i.e claiming ownership of properties when they are not the owners)
-perjury
-cheating

They do not know that I have these evidences.

After few lawyers notices, these relatives are ready to settle for less than 20% of the cheated amount.

Can I file criminal cases against them after collecting whatever they pay me?
What risks I face if I expose these criminals to police and media? Is there any downside if I expose them before they pay me? Should I go to media 1st and then police or police 1st and then the media?

Please advice.

Thanks again for your expert advice.

It seems you are not a honest person and want dual benefits with the help of we experts who devote their valuable time for the innocent and really affected honest litigants.

On the one hand you have lust for 20% money keeping your malafide intention secret and on the other hand also want reward from police and society by opening those secrets.

Do you think opposite party so fool to play with them doubly? Do you think that those shall not take back all such documents in original from you prior to handing over the settled amount?

Those persons might have already took legal advice from lawyer.
