Late detection of crime due to distance from india

 


Respected Legal Experts,

Like to understand interpretation of injury/wrongful loss when there is forgery & perjury in the following context.

Power-1:  Mr. B (a lawyer/public servant) & Mrs.G prepared a forged power of attorney document and granted to Mr. S (a lawyer/public servant). This is about managing and maintaining property-1. This is not a registered document but Mr.S filed this to a court and  won the case.  Agent did not show this anywhere in accounts.  On the surface, very little monetary damage but this paved the way for all 3 people involved in this.  

Power-2:  Just 10 days after Power-1 was executed, Mrs.G & Mr.S concealed the Power-1 and misled one of the principals stated in Power-1 to sign power to sell property-2). The agent sold the property-2 for guideline value and pocketed the most showing false accounts. wrongful Loss is Rs 1.8 crores. Also, the agent knew lot more about both properties but deliberately concealed the true conditions.

Can Power-2 be really considered as legitimate because the intention behind Power-1 was to pave way for Power-2? There is no other motive one can attribute to.

If one looks at each power in isolation, one can claim no/marginal injury. If one looks at collectively(i.e Power-1 & Power-2), the wrongful loss is significant.

Regarding forgery: Do Police/courts expect the injury (i.e wrongful loss) be directly within the Power-1 (i.e the outcome of court case), or can the wrongful loss felt in Power-2 is  also acceptable? 

Thanks and Welcome your comments.
