Forged signatures in vakalatnama

My uncle forged signatures of his brothers and sisters (5 of them, and their spouses) on Vakalatnamas and got the court to pass judgement to partition all family properties in his favour in 1984. I have received the attested copies from the court of all these documents.

Which criminal charges can my uncle be expected to be charged with - IPC 463, 464, 465, 466, 468? Any other relevant laws? Does the law of limitation cover forgery with fraudelent intent?

Thanks in advance.

PLEASE POST WHEN THE CASE WAS DECIDED AND WHEN YOU CAME TO KNOW ABOUT THE FACTS

The judgement was passed in January 1985. The fact that the signatures were forged will only be confirmed this week. Since none of the other heirs took an active interest after my father expired, my uncle only waited it out. He is now looking to "gift" the lands to charity.

My query is conncerning forgery and whether there is a "limitation' on it under the IPC?

Thanks in advance..

It cannot be only on Vakilatnama but also in the plaint.Since the offence has come to your knowledge now,you should file criminal complaint stating that fact,as the decree was kept silent and was not acted upon for such a long time.
