legal recourse against a husband forging his wife's signature


01-Aug-2023 (In Criminal Law)
A friend of mine is going through this. Her husband has opened a share market brokerage and has put her name as member of the board while registering the brokerage company. The company went into losses and husband is been arrested as one of the has booked a case against the company for not paying his money back. Now as my friend is part of the board her name is involved in the processing. But as per her, she has not signed any firms stating she would be part of board and on behalf of her, husband has forged her signature and made her legally involved. Is there any way out for her from this?

Yes, she can claim that her husband may have forged her signatures . secondly that her husband had kept her unaware of affairs of the Company - means she was not involved in the day to day affairs of the Comnpany.

No one should forge the signature of the other including husband and wife and such action attracts criminal action. Now that the wife has every right to file a criminal case against her husband for forging the signature. Let her lodge a police complaint and if the police fail to take appropriate action, she can file a PCR before jurisdictional magistrate court and get referred for investigation.
