Respected Sir/Madam,
I am a Govt. Servant, my annual income is 5 lakhs.
1.But my wife obtained an Income Certificate(Without my knowledge) from Tahsildar which states that our annual Income is Rs.10500/- only. By using this income Certificate she obtained several Govt. benefits which reserved for BPL people.
2.My wife is physically Fit and she has no disabilities. But she obtained an Physically Handicap Certificate from Govt.Doctors which states that she is limping and she has 60% disability.
3.My in-laws are in Govt.Service.But my wife obtained an Income Certificate(before her marraige) from Tahsildar which states that their (in-laws) annual Income is Rs.7500/- only. By using this income Certificate she obatained several Govt. benefits which reserved for BPL people.
When I came know all these I collected all the documents through RTI and gave 3 seperate complaints to Concerned to take criminal action against my wife and in-laws. In written reply to my complaints they told that this is not an criminal offence and they can't take any action.
Is it criminal offence or not, if yes please mention the IPC sections,
With regards,
T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate
