The law of forgery is like this : If someone makes alteration in any valuable security or documents..with a view of getting monetary benefits... Then ...He commits crime of forgery...
A takes a loan from B.
A gives to B some cheques as security.. The dates in cheques is left blank...
----
After some time, A fails to pay back full loan. Though he has made some part payment.
B fills up date, deposits cheques in bank.
Cheques are dis honoured because of insufficient balance..
-------
A & B both go to lawyers
-------
1.........B files a case on A under Sec.138 of Negotiable Instrument Act...
2.........A files a case on B, alleging that B committed forgery by making alterations in undated cheques by putting date on in them...
---------
Both of them are prosecuting each other in criminal law... Both of them want each other to go to jail.....
Now what ?
Thinking......
How Judges will do justice in such cases ?
I am still thinking......
