One of my friend was witness for power of attorney document of a property owned by person A. Power of attorney is given to person B. Person B sold property to person C.
Now the person A is saying that he has not signed power of attorney and filed FIR against my friend (IPC 420, IPC 468). The case is in court, sample of person A's signatures were sent to forensic expert(signature verification department) for verification. As per report provided by forensic expert (signature verification department) the signature sample of person A is not matching with signature present on power of attorney document. Also the person B has turn hostile and saying that under the pressure of Person C and my friend he has made false power of attorney.
Now what are chances of my friend's survivor. In case the lower case given decision against my friend, is it possible to appeal in higher court? The case was in lower court for almost 3-4 year now. How long it will take in higher court? Which is the best strategy to get out of these mess.
