Hi tech signature forgery

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 05 October 2011 This query is : Resolved

Sir,

Now a days computer is owned and easily available to lot of people than 10-15 years back. In Computer pdf format number of books can be copied with sharp impression either enlarged or compressed. Any unscrupulous person can and are deceiving persons after copying signature from the pdf format page usually cut and past signature with the help of computer and pdf format programmes and xerox machines.

If the document happens to be sale deed, settlement deed, adoption deed, conveyance deed, gift deed, will, relinquishment deed, assignment deed etc. and bore as it is signature of a person on the document by copying xerox or computer. Then the person who obtained such malafide signature will insist as genuine signature and even file in the court and in the process may cheat many people. The victim will come to know only in the court when the forged document is filed.

What is the remedy to set right such people in our Indian Constitution. Please suggest civil as well as criminal laws against such people.

Thanking You,

M.S.N.

Mere hypothesis cannot work. Had you given any live example, your question could be replies more appropriately. However, for your information, such a vital documents, like, sale deed, settlement deed, adoption deed, conveyance deed, gift deed, will, relinquishment deed, assignment deed etc., are not generally available through internet for copying of signatures in PDF form.

Possibilities as apprehended can not be ruled
out.Our constitution is about our rights and governess.we do have laws to deal crimes as and when committed.Unless a crime is committed law can not be set in motion.

A personal request is that next time if you turn up,may GOD do not give you such an occasion,turn up with real life problem of law.

Except the case of WILL, all other documents cited by you need registration and only when the person concerned either himself or through power of attorney is physically present in the Sub-Registrar's office, the document cannot be registered. Therefore, such forged documents can create doubts for some time but ultimately it will get proved that it was not original.
