Section 471 IPC deals with forgery. Charging the accused under Sec. 420 is not in your hands. The Police has to do that. You can approach the Police and explain them the issue. If they feel that it needed to charge under 420, they will file a petition before the court and the court may allow the petition. But it is too late. Contact police people immediately. Judges will be neutral, they will not go against anybody. They are related to the merits of the case.
