Dear Sir
One of my friend had applied for a plot in the name of his Mother in law. He was successful and appropriately Mother in law executed a will in the name of his daughter (grand daughter).
His wife has 3 brothers. At the time of sale, his wife asked her brothers and they all said that this is your property, do what you want but they can travel and be availability for any formalities.
The property dealer told his wife that following the route of Will in the name her daughter is too long a processs and if her brothers had no problems, she could declare that she is the only daughter. Both husband and wife stupidly agreed (innocently) to this proposal and a false affidavit was executed.
One of her brother is of greedy nature and he approached the Development authority and found out the truth and now he is exploiting his sister for false affidavit. Other brothers are on her side.
The couple has had wonderful and pure life all along with not a single blemish on their person but for this. Now they want to know as to what is the maximum penalty for this. Being old age they want to avoid any imprisonment punishment. They say that they will not waste court's time and will admit their fault on first hearing.
Please let us know what is remedy in the worse case.
