I hope u r a lawyer, go through the section 419 r/w 420 of IPC. You can file either a police complaint or a private complaint before JM court. if the offence is old  and bar by limitation go through the section 468 and 473 of Cr.P.C

Sir, submitted PCR and case has been referred to PS recently which FIR completed. after 3 week, Police not taken action on this and accused have come to know the case and applied for AB. Question is, in the event of hand-writiing/signature not matching with Accused and Complaintant according to forensic report, how difficult is the case to prove based on circumstantial evidence. I understand that it's difficult to proove based on CE. Advice please. thanking.

when you are sure the signatures are forged, better lodge a complaint with the commissioner /SSP of your city. Appraise them of the facts. send a RTI application to LIC (insurance co) to get all details of your payment, viz cheque nbr, date on which mailed, your discharge certificate/surrender oif policy document, if any. From the Bank get all tyhedtails viz. KYC norms under which the account has been opened, and in case the account has been opened with thrid party introduction do get the same as well. When as account is opened in any bank, its obligatory on the part of the bank to mail you a letter confirming that your acccount has been opened with them, did they mail you any such letter???? better implicate the sataff members of the Bank as well in your FIR/Compliant with the Police, the matter will get soted out soon. Best of luck. Normally LIC doews not issue cheques there days without mentioning the account holders number, so that a new account can not be opened to misuse the cheque, seek explanation from LIC as well,
