But "one Z " has submitted Advanced Stamp Receipt by forging the signature of "Y" for claiming the above said relief.
The Officials claimed the amount under good faith that "z" is "Y".after attesting the signature of "Z".
Subsequently,One "A" received the cheque for the compensation amount forging the signature of "Y" and the same was also attested by the Official in good faith that the person received the cheque was "Y".
