Question

Company used forged documents to sue me

04-Dec-2025 (In Civil Law)

I resigned from a company on medical grounds . I was ready to give them 2 months salary as per agreement . Company also has my final settlement salary of 40 days . Currently my case is going on but my lawyer is pressurizing me to file a seperate criminal case along with civil suit filed by company. Do we have to opt for a new case to challenge forged document or can we settle this dispute in current civil suite only. I think my laywer is greedy . He wants t0 drag the case unnecessarily.

Answer #1

You can challenge the alleged forged documents effectively in the pending civil proceedings themselves and a separate criminal case is legally optional, not mandatory. Further filing a criminal complaint for forgery or cheating is your legal right, but it should be done only if the facts genuinely disclose a criminal offence and you are prepared for a parallel, longer process; it is not a compulsory step for defending the present civil suit. Further more, whenyour lawyer suggests additional litigation including criminal as well as civil, then I cannot comment personally on any lawyer. I can only suggest in my opinion that you should proceed with your Civil Suit and whn you get favourable order then oy you proceed further with criminal or any other litigation.
