08-Feb-2025 (In Criminal Law)
Fraud by cousin brother by unauthorized breaking of FD's after my father's death in hospital.
Dear Client,
I understand the seriousness of the situation. Here’s how you can address this issue:
Obtain Evidence: Collect all necessary documents, such as the Fixed Deposit (FD) details, your father’s death certificate, and proof of unauthorized withdrawal by your cousin brother.
File a Police Complaint: Lodge an FIR against your cousin for fraud, criminal breach of trust, and forgery under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Mention all evidence you have to support your case.
Notify the Bank: Inform the bank in writing about the unauthorized withdrawal. Request a detailed statement of the FD and inquire about the procedure followed for the withdrawal. If bank officials were complicit, they could also be held liable.
Civil Suit: File a civil suit for recovery of the FD amount along with interest and damages.
Probate/ Succession Certificate: If the FDs were in your father's name and lacked a nominee, you may need to apply for a succession certificate to secure other assets legally.
Seek prompt legal assistance to take swift action and secure your rights.
Best regards,
