Forging of signature by director

Hi,

I am a shareholder and director in a pvt ltd company in Delhi. Recently, other director (we are only 2 directors in the company) has forged my signature on the cheque of company account for his personal expenses. Also, he did not inform me about it. I came to know only from bank.

What is the legal remedy available. Can I go and file an FIR against him. Can someone please guide me process of filing FIR.

Thanks

Dear Mr. Alok,

You should approach to local police station first and give a complaint in writing. Take one extra copy along with you and on which police officials will put their stamp and DD no.

In case in no action is taken by them, you can directly apporach the Concerned Magistrate u/s 156(3) for registration of FIR u/s 467/468/471/420 besides other applicable sections of IPC.

You can also take the help of a private handwriting expert by which it can be proved that the signatures are forged.
