Forging will and then claim ancestor property as legal heir
2 years ago
If one manages to obtain land khatha's of ancestors based onforged will and then claim that he got it as a legal heir, is it acceptable legally?
A.No it is not acceptable and if proved in the court of law that he had done this by forging a legal document then we will be held criminally liable for fraud and forgery. He shall be penalized and punished under Sections 463, 464 and 465 of IPC. Also suppose that he submits the same forged document in court as genuine then he shall also be punished under Sections 191, 192 and 193 of IPC.

A.Hi,
A forged will is illegal and any transfers that have happened based on such a will is illegal and void. Claims of a legal heir based on a forged will is misrepresentation and fraud. Forging of documents is a criminal offence under section 465 of the IPC. A case can be filed against such an individual for cheating, fraud, misrepresentation and forgery.
