What to do if warrant has been issued wrongly against me
16-Jun-2023 (In Criminal Law)
I am a tax consultant. In December 2017 a women comes at my office with his husband's PAN Card and she said that he want filled his husband's Income Tax return.(She does not stated that she is living separate from his husband and their is matter of divorce case against him ) I innocently reset the password of his husband's efilling profile of income tax site. I have no idea about that's women is not living with his husband nor she stated that about the divorce Case against him. Then after 9 months police comes at my office saying that, the women's husband file a FIR (under section 66 of Information Technology Act) against his wife for breaking password of his efilling profile and you are helpful to women to break the password and they also give me warrant (under section 66 of I.T. Act ) then now what should I Do ? Plz advice me.. Is their is any fraud
As per section 98 of Indian penal code mistake of fact is not a crime. In your case the wife of applicants show origanal pan card of conserved person then you tried to fill the form. For professionals password are different ,and you tried to give best service to her.though as income tax rule it is crime but as per ipc mistake of fact, and is not a crime.hence you as a professional not held responsible. Even his wife will not be held responsible. As for maintenance she can try for income of her husband.why police showing to much interest.
