I had entered into an agreement with a film producer for certain rights of a said film being assigned to me vide an agreement dated----1999, and paid the consideration by cheque.Now a business rival approached the same producer very recently and got an agreement signed pre-dating it to ----1995 and showed the same rights being assigned to him and showed paid consideration by cash.I know the whole deal to be fake one carried out to cheat me out om my legitimate rights as the business rival has only a few years back come into this business and has a reputation to do this kinds of deeds.Now if I go to court the court will only look into the date and declare him to be the right full owner, and ask me to seek action against the producer who will either pay me back my money or declare his inability to do so.I want to reveal and prove the truth of the document of my rival.
How do I go around doing this, the stamp paper has the name of the stamp vendor and the name of my business rival and shows the date purchased as around the date of the agreement.But it is a known fact that stamp vendors sell old dated stamp papers at a price as per the age of the paper and affix your name to it.How do i prove his crime-remember my deal has been done with a cheque and i can prove the transaction by my income tax filing on the said date/year.But my rival will not have this as proof/back up-will courts direct this course of investigation and rely on this as proof-is there any other course to follow?

It is very clear that you have paid the money in 1999, there is another one document to show that the same film was sold to somebody in 1995.
It is a clear cut cheating case. So, make police complaint u/s 420 IPC. produce both the documents to the police. You will get the relief.
You can take the advocates help for initiating action on those persons.
