impersonation or forgery pl clarify?

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 19 April 2010 This query is : Resolved 
Certain tenants have brought up rental which are under valued receipts, claiming that those were issued by the owner's daughter who is not the actual owner.

Owner's daughter states that those signatures do not at all match those of her. She stands by her claim and is contemplating legal action.

My query is Sir,

1. Whether this amounts to Forgery or Impersonation & Forgery

2.The receipts in contention is filed in courts as proof as them being tenants and the owners issuing the same.

3.Does rental receipts issued by other than owner or land lord of the house is legally binding? or

4. Does it stand ground as there is no GPA or written consent to so and owner present in the premises of the rented portion.

Pl specify if there is any Sec or Order in the CPC to substantiate it.


Thanks Sirs.

1. Whether this amounts to Forgery or Impersonation & Forgery

Ans.Forgery

2.The receipts in contention is filed in courts as proof as them being tenants and the owners issuing the same.

Ans.Since the owner's daughter is not the owner nor she is authorized to collect the rents, the same is therefore a weak evidence before the court.

3.Does rental receipts issued by other than owner or land lord of the house is legally binding? or

4. Does it stand ground as there is no GPA or written consent to so and owner present in the premises of the rented portion.

Ans.Already replied above.

THANK YOU SIRS. SO THE OWNER CAN CONTEST IT WITH OUT PROBLEM OR EMBARRASSMENT.

SHOULD THE OWNER'S DENY IT AND CAN THE SUIT BE DISMISSED ON THE MAJOR GROUNDS OF FORGERY.

THANKS
