Seeking clarification and interpretation of law.

THE RIGHT TO FAIR COMPENSATION AND TRANSPARENCY IN LAND ACQUISITION, REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT ACT, 2013

(1) If a person, in connection with a requirement or direction under this Act, provides any information that is false or misleading, or produces any false document, he shall be liable to be punished with imprisonment of either descripttion for a term which may extend to six months, or with fine which may extend to one lakh rupees, or with both.

There is no limitation period given for above stated clauses.

I would like to know can an Individual whose Right has been encroached upon and taken by fraud and fabrication of Documents. Can that person file a complaint case at magistrate court ?

Fake Legal Heir Certificate / Family Member certificate has been used to illegally claim share of other family member.

Please also clarify what provision would be used to recover the illegally claimed compensation ?

98. Notice in case of suits for anything done in pursuance of Act.–No suit or other proceeding shall be commenced against any person for anything done in pursuance of this Act, without giving to such person a month‘s previous notice in writing of the intended proceeding, and of the cause thereof, nor after tender of sufficient amendments.

Do aggrieved has to give notice to the perpetrator or to the office or to the collector ?

Yes, you can file a criminal case on the persons, who are involved in it.

You need to prove with proper evidence to show that the Legal Heir Certificate/Family Member Certificate was obtained by way of fraud.

Thank you for reply sir.

Due to health issue of my parents documents were left at ancestral house in room where al member has lock and keys, but the documents were illegaly acquired and taken away by breaking the lock and key.

On the basis death certificate fake family member certificate/legal heir certificate has been obtained.

The same is used for claiming the compensastion.

we have been trying to search death certificate but cannot find and obtain duplicate copy of death certificate.

and land acquisition department is adamant about submitting the legal heir certificatre / family member certificate.

Have used RTi to get information but not getting information either, RTI is dysfunction in the sate of jharhand. 

 

There are other material evidence. The accused along with my family member has sold a property in joint in 2013. We are also ready for DNA test.

Dear Vijay,

You can file a criminal case against the individuals implicated. Any individual found guilty of fraud faces a sentence of imprisonment of not less than six months but not more than ten years, as well as a fine of not less than the amount involved in the fraud but not more than three times the amount involved.

First, file a complaint with the police station about a forged document, then send a copy to the Revenue Department and a CC to the collector. Finally, if you know the property's survey number, make a representation to the Sub Register not to register the property. You must show that the Legal Heir Certificate/Family Member Certificate was obtained fraudulently with adequate evidence.

You will have to file  a case for recovery of the compensation. To recover compensation from the Land Acquisition Authorities as well as the individuals who have received compensation, you must prove that the evidences produced by the benefiting party were false and that they were all nothing but mere means to achieve the compensation wrongfully.

And you have to send a notice to the to the person against you are willing to file the case so that can produce and represent himself in the court.

Regards,

Aryan Raj

Fir was had been filed.

That has been closed under the influence.

Copy of report not officially given, obtained non official copy through a layer.

The fir has been closed citing non cognizable , civil matter. 

Applicant should approach Civil court for that.

That is why I have quoted the the section of the ACT which is relevant to the case.
