This query is : Resolved
Sir,I paid a sum to a person against cheque by executing a agreement , the cheque presented to the bank and the cheque bounced , I initiated a cheque bounce case and under trial,the accused got bail and appearing case.
mean while i realized that he has forged the signature of the Witness i.e., his wife signature.
and his brother's signature (where as his brother as a guarantor for the money and vehicle RC Book was handed to me as a security).
mean while i checked with the RTO office i shocked to see that the RC book was in the name of his brother,and photo is of the accused.
it is to say that there is no person as such as of accused's brother.
what course of action should i take to punish the accused, shall i initiate different case? or shall i file police complaint?

not able to describe very well but it appears that you have been given a vehicle as a mortgage which did not belong to loanee and you have been made to believe so because of a forged RC.
His brother-in-la who appears as actual owner of vehicle can move criminal case against both of you.
You can make a criminal case of forgery against him in addition to 138 case.

You can lodge criminal complaint against him for forgery.
Photo at where, as generally photo of owner is not displayed on the RC Book.

Prima facie, it appears that you are also a wrong doer in keeping the RC book with you as security.

agreeing with Mr Venu I will add, if the RC is with you then how do you expect vehicle will ply on road.

Thanks for the opinion, i have lack of clarity in my question.
i wanted to say the accused forged his wife's signature as witnesses, and
secondly one RC Book of a vehicle(Tata safari) carries accused photo,original name and signature.
where as in another RC Book of another vehicle(In nova) carries accused photo but in different name and different signature(nomenclature as his brother and signed on the agreement as a guarantor )
i clarify that in Karnataka RC Book carries Photo of the owner.

In the given facts, the accused can be entangled in many cases as already suggested to you.

Whether the accused had hypothecated the vehicles to you for the purpose of loan?, if not, holding the said RC book in your possession itself is illegal. Further, where did the accused forge his wife's signature? on which paper?,I think you have already been properly addressed of your query in your previous thread, what is the necessity to repeat?
