ok, once again check whether he has not mentioned the said number, after that you can file a case 420 ipc

In the given facts of case, there is no ground to frame charge against the accused and he is liable to be discharged at this stage itself.

Your query is incomplete, as it is not only the question of certificate number, distinctive numbers, but also it has to be seen whether the share certificates were in the name of the complainant and whether the person alleged against has really got the shares transferred in to his name or sold them. Even if the shares were not in his name, but he has the proof of purchase of the shares, he can also use that proof against the person.

Needless to mention that an innocent person often gets deceived in shares deals due to his ignorance.
