This query is : Resolved
Sir, I am a government employee. I had received an official letter consisting two pages from individual concerned which is computer typed and it has been signed with date of 12th February'2012. On that said letter three lines are handwritten and again a signature has been put just below the handwritten lines but this signature is without any date. I have processed the letter in file in a routine matter. Now my department has issued me a memo alleging that I have met the individual concerned on 13th Feb'2012 and dictated/instructed him the lines which have been handwritten. But genuinely speaking this is false allegation. I never did so.
I need expert legal opinion with regard to the rules that if a letter has been signed on 12th Feb'2012 it cannot be said to have been amended by hand on 13th Feb'2012. If it is amended on 13th Feb'2012 the date of signature should be 13th Feb'2012. Pl help me coz i need justice. I am very much tensed as i did not even dream of such type of allegations against me.

Sir, is there no law in our government to prove that a letter if signed on 12th Feb'2012 should carry the date value of 12th Feb'2012. I am facing problems because i am not a law expert. Pl help and suggest any law/rule by which this becomes false that a letter signed on 12th Feb'2012 is amended on any later date. Because it is practically not possible but i wana submit my reply through rule/law.

You have repeated your query under the head "Constitutional Law" probably to mislead experts. It is not understood, what is constitutional in the date of signature on a letter?
Laws are made for general guidance to maintain law & order. Laws are not made by keeping every bit of general activities or modus operandies in sight of the 120 crores of people of India, like what should be criteria to see the validity of undated signatures and on which date the same should be treated to have been made by a person. About your statement, "it is practically not possible but i wana submit my reply through rule/law", you should know that what is not practically possible, cannot also be made possible hypiothetically by any law.
It is not understood, what benefit you try to derive by repeating your query, while you have already posted the same query elsewhere. Any reply against the facts of the case can not help you even if you post your query hundred times.
Better justify yourself by countering the charge and asking the prosecution to prove their contention based on the rules or law of the land or by producing the signatory of the document, as a witness.
