hi, not sure if this is the right forum but posting here. this is about one of my friends who has been facing trial under 420 cheating case.
my friend who got engaged with a girl few years back and the marriage was called off due to some issues. on account of this, the girl's father filed a cheating case on my friend giving all false story. the girls father submitted 2 bills about 3 lakhs gold purchase.
my friend filed an RTI to the sales tax/VAT department to enquire about the authenicty of the bills. accordingly, the authorities sent a letter to the shop owner asking to submit all information.
what my friend wants to know about the following...
1. what if the shop owner doesnt repsond to the authorities? will they answer the RTI that the bills are fake and false in the law of land?
2. what could have the shop owner done to cover up the false bills?
3. what kind of verification is done by the department authorities to ensure this is right bill or false bill?
really requesting the experts to answer in general sense how bills are authenticated by the government bodies.
thanks
