Forgery, change of sealed envelope documents in judicial file


27-Jul-2023 (In Criminal Law)
In a civil dispute, judicial file had some sealed envelope reports. Respondent in collusion with court staff got the report changed and judgment passed based on the fake report. The report had signatures of Predecessor judge. That has been forged. nWhat is the legal remedy to prove the forgery and tampering of judicial records? Which sections of IPC/ CrPC apply? Can this be argued in the civil appeal or a separate criminal case is to be filed for registering of FIR? Forensic examination of original report is required which only court can order. nCan the civil appeal take cognizance of this offense?

yes first of all approach the police for registration of for. if police does not accept then write to the dcp of police. if that also does not work please file an application for 156(3) of the code of criminal procedure before a Magistrate for direction to police to register FIR.

Hi You will have to file an appeal against that order. You will need the original report and make a case for forgery, it’s a serious offence if officers of the court are also involved. Feel free to get in touch to discuss further. Regards Adv. Abhinav Sharma

you may file a application under section 340 cr.p.c. in trial court and simultaneously you should challenge the trial court order based on such manipulation. you can also file case of perjury. in Judicial matters no FIR is permitted nor is maintainable.
