Original documents

B Singh (Querist) 08 June 2013 This query is : Resolved
I have lodged an FIR for fraud and forgery. After investigatins the Investigating Officer told me that he shall require the original documents for handwriting samples of the accused. My query is that under what receipt I shall handover the original documents to IO. Do I need to take alongwith me the help of lawyer as witness that I have handed over the original documents to IO at police station. Please advice me urgently in this matter as I only have the original documents as evidence with me of the accused for issuing me fake/false documents.

You can get the receipt of those original documents to which you hand over to the police. Your lawyer may also accompany you to the police station and can become a witness thereto.

You may ask forthwith to provide a certified copy of roznamacha in which IO has entered the fact of the receiving original documents.

IO received the original documents and gave me attested copy duly signed and stamped of conerned PS by IO. My query is that since the IO had attested and signed alongwith stamped the photocopy of documents is this valid in court of law that original documents had been received by IO. Please

You have not confirmed that IO has given receipt of the documents or not. He has given attested photocopies only. Get the copy of Roznamcha as advised by the expert Sh. Ravi Kant soni Ji.

IO received the original documents and prepared fard. Then IO attested the photocopy of the documents and duly signed and stamped of police station. IO also wrote on the attested documents that original has been received by him.
