Registration of land without lawful title CIVIL or Criminal

My friend was having less land than his co-share holder due to oral partition between brothers using ropes. When he asked his co-sharer to deliver excess land in his possession more than his entitlement due oral, the co-sharer didn't handedover the excess land to lawful owner, instead transferred the excess land to others taking AGPA from another shareholder who is having only 3 gunta title without possession, but the document was registered for 13 guntas thus which is causing about 8 crores loss to my friend. Is it not crime transferring land illegally without title? The police not registered the FIR saying it is civil nature. Please give your valuable advise for taking further steps.

Yes, the dispute, if at all any, is civil in nature and police have no jurisdiction to interfere.

Contact a local advocate for a remedy first and after examining the documents if any available, he may guide you suitably.

In response to your query,

You can suggest your friend to take a legal action for Forging of documents and Impersonation.

Forging documents entails creating fake documents such as a Will, gift deed, or sale deed, or forging signatures on documents through which a transfer is made.

When the transfer is carried out by concealing the true facts or by impersonation, i.e. when someone poses as the original owner of the property before the registering authorities and signs the documents necessary to complete the transfer.
