DEAR SIR,
DURING MY STINT AS ACCOUNTANT WITH A BANK BRANCH I PASSED A CHEQUE ON WHICH SIGNATURE WAS FORGED. AFTER WE CAME TO KNOW THIS WE GOT THE COMPROMISE MADE BETWEEN THE ACCOUNT HOLDER AND PAYEE AND OBTAINED GENUINE SIGNATURE OF ACCOUNT HOLDER ON THE SAME CHEQUE. NOW AFTER 1 YEAR THE ACCOUNT HOLDER HAS MADE AN ISTGASA IN COURT UNDER SECTION 420 ,467, 468 ,471 ,120 B WHO DIRECTED POLICE TO INVESTIGATE THE MATTER. PLEASE HELP. WHAT SHOULD I DO. PLEASE ALSO GIVE THE RRELENANT SECTION OF LAW FOR MY DEFENCE

Sections are same under which, if any summoning is made, you have to defend yourself. You have already told the facts and the case and this is the same defense which you have to apply additionally the time taken by the complainant to initiate legal action at such belated stage. You can be discharged, if charged with the offense alleged.
