Charges framed by step brother of making a legal heir false affidavit


10-Sep-2023 (In Criminal Law)
From birth I did not know of any other relationship of my father. After his death, I swore in an affidavit claiming myself to be the legal heir in 2007. In Dec'2015, one , claimed to be my step-brother, filed a criminal case, declaring the said affidavit as false, under Sec.420. I have ration card where there is no mention of his name. My father's other I.Cards do not bear his name. Is this criminal?
