Forged document produced evidence- legal action

Dear learned Advocates,

My client filed private compliant under section 420 of IPC for not paying sale consideration amount paid through cheques shown in the sale deed. After investigation police filed charge sheet and trail commenced.

After completion of prosecution evidence, the Accused led his defence evidence and in which he has produced forged money paid receipt to prove that subsequently sale consideration is paid to complianat.

We have filed application under section 45 of evidence Act to refer the said disputed document for expert opinion, and Expert has given opinion stating that the signatures are forged and he has been  cross examined by the accused.

Now is there any provision to pray court to take cognigence and to refere to police to investigate  ( in the same case )  of the offence fof  producing forged document in the evidence in the same proceedings.

Please requested to enlighten me on this aspect to take further course of action.

Thanks in advance.

You can file a Complaint, popularly known as Private Complaint.

You can approach the police instead. 

Be happy, Section 195 of the Criminal Procedure Code is not attracted.

Your chances are quite bright.

The court is aware of the fradulent act after cross.

Expect justice from court.

Your lawyer is to lead the case in your favor.

Shri Anil Satyagraha

Dear Sir

I appreciate you.     You applied your mind so deeply.        You're quite right.

The easiest option before the Questioner is, however, to prosecute the person under FORGERY which requires neither government sanction nor complaint by court.

And Sec 151 of the Civil Procedure Code is not relevant.

Though subordinate criminal courts don't, in theory, have discretionary powers, they're exercised in practice.

I believe, the next step for you is to file the relevannt petition in the same Court, where forgery and perjury have taken place.

Hello Sir, What an answer you gave!!! much appreciabale !! 

Here I would like to clear my simple doubt. I am the victim of s*xual assaults / molestation by group of 6 in public . I  am still surviving and participating in process to get me justice . the opposite lawyer cross examined me  but my pp is not even objecting him so can I ask myself ask him the cross question or ask question? if yes plz give me some source so that i can show my pp or to prove the victim right 

TGK REDDI   21 May 2018

No, you can't.    Yours is a police case.

Even if it's a private complaint, one can't cross examine unless the counsel is abandoned.

@Sonam Kaur et al.,

THANKS for your kind words. From your reply, it is recommended that you open a new query that is more focused on the allegations that you make. This is a separate cause of action.

  1. FROM THE GIVEN SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES, it may be fruitful to advert to a hall mark judgement as culled out from SUNIL KUMAR PAL V. PHOTA SHEIKH AND ORS., 1984 (4) SCC 533[1], wherein the Hon'ble Supreme Court speaking through P.N. BHAGWATI AND V. BALAKRISHNA ERADI, JJ., deliberatee uupon - Perfunctory investigation - Trial appallingly unfair and heavily leaded against the accused - Public prosecutor appearing as if representing for the accused  - Material witnesses not examined - Witnesses intimidated - No protection given to them - Trial vitiated - Retrial ordered. (Paras 4, 5, 6, 7 & 9), it was held that —

“(Paras ¶¶ 4, 5, 6, 7 & 9) — Public Prosecutor should not appear to defend the accused”

  1. ADDITIONALLY, one may wish to take shelter under CrPC §§ 301(2) r/w 302(2) and avail the option of Special Vakalath and thereby appoint an advocate to assist the learned public prosecutor to conduct the case.

  1. AS TO regarding …

xxx  … Police had not written my 6 pages hand written story in FIR... xxx

  1. IN THE MATTER OF  LALITA KUMARI V. GOVT. OF U.P. & ORS., 2008 (7) SCC 164[1],  the Hon’ble Apex Court speaking through Learned B.N. AGRAWAL AND G.S. SINGHVI, JJ., as  decided On : 07/14/2008, adverted that has Many a times FIR are not registered even after intervention of higher police officers or orders of courts – On the other hand some practical persons do not have any difficulty and has held —

(Para ¶ 8) —                        Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 – Section 154 – FIR lodging of – Many a times FIR are not registered even after intervention of higher police officers or orders of courts – On the other hand some practical persons do not have any difficulty – Their FIR are registered and investigation proceeds at super-sonic speed – The erring police officials, if summoned to court for their misdemeanor, even assault the presiding officers of the court – It is high time the Supreme Court steps in to correct the situation – Notices issued as to why directions should not be issued in this regard.”

AGAIN, in LALITA KUMARI V. GOVT. OF U.P. & ORS., 2013 (4) CRIMES(SC) 243[2], the Hon'ble Supreme Court speaking through Learned P. Sathasivam, CJI, Dr. B.S. Chauhan, Ranjana Prakash and Ranjan Gogo, JJ., vide Writ Petition (Criminal) No. 68 of 2008 with S.L.P. (Crl.) No. 5986 of 2006 , S.L.P. (Crl.) No. 5200 of 2009 Criminal Appeal No. 1410 of 2011, Criminal Appeal No. 1267 of 2007 and Contempt Petition (C) No. D26722 of 2008 in Writ Petition (Criminal) No. 68 of 2008 Decided on : 12.11.2013, and has held —

(Paras ¶¶  60 , 61 and 63) —         Criminal Procedure Code, 1973—Section 154—Police Act, 1861—Section 44—FIR—Registration of—If at all, there is any inconsistency in provisions of Section 154 of Code and Section 44 of Police Act, 1861, with regard to fact as to whether FIR is to be registered in FIR book or in General Diary, provisions of Section 154 of Code will prevail and provisions of Section 44 of Police Act, 1861 (or similar provisions of respective corresponding Police Act or Rules in other respective States) shall be void to extent of repugnancy—Registration of FIR is mandatory and also that it is to be recorded in FIR Book by giving a unique annual number to each FIR to enable strict tracking of each and every registered FIR by superior police officers as well as by competent court to which copies of each FIR are required to be sent.

 

xxx

 

(Paras ¶¶ 98, 100 and 101) —         Criminal Procedure Code, 1973—Section 154—FIR—Registration of—While registration of FIR is mandatory, arrest of accused immediately on registration of FIR is not at all mandatory — Arrest of a person and registration of FIR are not directly and/or irreversibly linked and they are entirely different concepts operating under entirely different parameters—If a police officer misuses his power of arrest, he can be tried and punished under Section 166 of IPC.

 

(Paras ¶¶ 44 and 45) — Interpretation of Statute—Golden Rule of Construction—If the provision is unambiguous and legislative intent is clear, court need not call into it any other rules of construction—Golden rule of interpretation can be given a go-by only in cases where language of the section is ambiguous and/or leads to an absurdity.”

RECOMMENDED NEXT STEPS

  1. REACH OUT TO THE HIGH COURT vide CrPC § 482 or Art. 226 (Writ) and specifically seek to correct the palpable errors that are seen ex facie. Secondly, seek action against the erring Police who have been derelict in their duty.
