Please read and opine.....What if during court proceedings it is found that forged documents were presented by either party, the Magistrate has the authority to direct the police to take appropriate action under Section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC). Section 156(3) empowers a Magistrate to order a police investigation if an offense is cognizable, such as forgery.

If the court finds credible evidence of forgery, the Magistrate can instruct the police to investigate the matter and, if required, register an FIR. The objective is to ensure that criminal actions, such as forgery, are thoroughly investigated and that justice is served according to the law.
This step ensures that criminal misconduct within the judicial process is addressed, preventing abuse of the legal system and protecting the integrity of the proceedings.
