Dear Sir,
I live in a co-operative housing society. In the same society, my father-in-law has a flat which is now in the name of my mother-in-law after my father-in-law passed away in 1998. The share certificate is also in her name.
On 12th October 2023 my husband received a letter from a person living in the same building challenging my father-in-laws signature. He has attached two documents. One is a letter written to Charity COmmissioner which my father-in-law has signed in the year 1996. The other document is an agreement related to his flat signed in 1996. Accordingly the person the 2nd document signed in 1998 has a fake signature of my father-in-law. And now he is asking for some documents from us to mathch my father-in laws signature.
My question is - what do we do? Does that person (he does not have any authority) have the right to ask for these documents ? Should we respond? My father-in-law was very much alive and signed the agreement in 1996 along with two other trust members.
Please guide.
Regards,
Janhavi Mantri

You need not be responded to. If he still presses you may file a police complaint for harassment or consult a local lawyer in the matter.

He is not at all connected to us or connected to property. He is unnecessarily involved.

The other party has no right to demand your documents for any reason.
If mat all he has any case let him approach court with suitable suit or petition.
If necessary he may file a petition before court to direct you to produce the said documents based on the relevancy it has with his case, then you can appear before court and challenge his stand.

Unless there is a specific direction from the competent Court, there is no obligation to comply with the demand.
