A house was illegaly grabbed by a tresspaser Mr. A in the absence of the true owner. When the owner returned he filed an FIR againts Mr. A and also had the electricity disconnected. After few weeks Mr. A (the tresspaser) while illegally occupying the house made his friend Mr. B pose as a tenant and filed a case in the House Controller Office (Sub-Divisional Magistrate) saying that the owner has discconnected the electricity connection to harrass Mr. B. Then Mr. A received notice on behalf of the owner by saying that he is the caretaker of the owner and supporting Mr. B claim in a rejoinder. On this the Sub-Divisional Magistrate passed an order directing the electricity connection to be retored.
Now the true owner came to know this fraud. What legal remedy he has to punish Mr. A and Mr. B for the fraud they have played. Is a complaint under Cr.PC 340 for perjury be filed or 420 case for forgery. Please advise.
Thank you.
