He robbed signed demat slips & transferred all shares to his name. father was sick for a year from 2006 to 2007 and expired by cancer on september 2007. he even after my fathers death transferred shares to his name in november december 2007. We did not have details of shares and He then misled us for upto 2010 in which year we enquired from Karvy consultancy about some bonus share send by them of reliance industries. Then send a mail saying that they were being rejected from transfer for sign difference in my friends name. we enquired from him and he admitted about selling all shares and told us he `would repay us. He lingered upto 2015 and since then he is absconding. For these many years police did not take any complaint against him saying that this is civil matter or matter for EOW dept. Now they accepted and filed FIR on 23 march 2017. He is absconding and applied for Quash of FIR in court for matter not in time limit (10 years old). He has more than 40 cheating, 138 cheque bounce warrants & 10 non bailable warrants. Can the FIR be quashed. Kindly help what should I do.
