Close friend gave me a forged appointment letter with a company
20-Jun-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Hello, someone I know promised me a job and even got me an appointment letter which I found out was fake but she took nothing from me, neither money, nor anything else. She was just pretending to be helping me all the time as a friend. Under which sections I can file a criminal case against her? Can I attract section 467 to teach her a good lesson? I lost nothing in this entire episode except some time. It all happened 2 months ago and I wanted to bury the case but now my friends are saying that I should teach her a lesson, what can I do? Can I file a case under sec 467? Will filing FIR after 2 months affect my case?
Yes…you can easily apply for registration of FIR for forgery. She has done a criminal offence by delivering you the fake appointment letter and ultimately wasting your time. She can be booked under section 465 and the punishment for the same is maximum of 2 years. For more legal assistance I am just a call away.

You would have to explain to the court reason for late filing of complaint.
If she issued you a forged document you can file a criminal complaint against her.
But from the contents of your query, s 467 is not attracted.

It is, amongst other things, criminal breach of trust. Section 467 IPC will not be attracted as it is a specific section which deals with circumstances unrelated to your case. You can try to get forgery added but intent to commit fraud is an indispensable ingredient of forgery. If you can show Mala fide on her part, forgery may be made out.
