30-Mar-2023 (In Civil Law)
have signed a blank green coloured paper and given to a lawyer for quashing a case. I was victim im a criminal case that is to be quashed.This paper is not used till date. I want to know whether that green coloured paper be used for any legal purpose against me in future. Like whether my property or any other thing can be in danger? I am not misunderstanding my lawyer. But only for sake of knowledge.
Dear sir

The green paper is mostly used for legal purposes like affidavits, agreement, compromise deed etc. As you told, it is being taken for quashing so it might be used as a compromise deed or settlement with the complainant. It is better to clear this with the lawyer because in long run, if your case is not quashed, you are in double trouble.

Dear Maam
As a thumb rule, one should never ever give any blank paper signed to anyone. In your case you have not mentioned if there was any stamp on the legal paper you signed. In the presence of a stamp, the purpose for which it can be used gets limited as usually a stamp of Rs. 20- 100 can be affixed over it. This is not sufficient to transfer a property. Neither it can be used as an affidavit as it would require signatures to be made at specific places after printing the affidavit. If we talk specifically about property, I doubt his intention for taking signatures for that purpose. As you know your lawyer best, I too think it should have been taken for some legal purpose involving your case only and not with some malafide intention.
