Wood and furniture are separate things and use of furniture in the shape of frame meant for the use in windows or doors is not an offence even under section 26 of Indian Forest Act.

You should insist upon your version and should produce the bill of the retailer from whom you purchased those frames along-with the bill of carpenter who framed those. You can even physically show the house wherein those frames are to be used.

Despite of best efforts relevant case could not be found at this stage. I shall try to find out relevant citation meant for you.

I agree with Mr Raj Kumar Makkad Advcoate!

The Production of purchase Bill/s is sufficient , the forest officer/s have no right to ask any more from you ! The rest they have to proceed /enquire with the vendro of wood /prepared frames /furnuiture .
