How do you fight a forgery case?
The prosecution must prove that you forged a document with the intent to deceive someone or commit fraud. One of the best ways to defend against forgery charges and prove that fraud was not the intent is by challenging the prosecutions evidence.
How do you prove a forgery case?
The document in dispute or the electronic recording is a fake document.
The document has been forged by the accused.
The document was forged to cheat the accused.
How is forgery detected?
The key to detecting a forgery is that each object contains evidence about the time and place of its creation. The two approaches of stylistic analysis and technical analysis are complementary, and they are best used in conjunction.
This is considered as very serious offence. The court take it very seriously amd are not lenient about the same but its very difficult to prove the same as offence is always to be proved beyond reasonable doubt. The punishment can go upto seven years
