O R D E R
Heard Mr.V. Giri, the learned Senior Counsel appearing for the petitioner who is the informant in the FIR 113/2021. In the FIR, forged signature of the Informant’s mother and grand-mother was alleged, to secure building permission etc. The counsel refers to the report dated 19.01.2022 (Annexure P-6) of the Telangana State Signature Not Verified Forensic Science Laboratory which indicates the questioned Digitally signed by Jayant Kumar Arora Date: 2023.12.13 17:18:50 IST Reason: signatures mis-match with the handwriting of the person mentioned. Notwithstanding such finding which suggests criminal culpability, 2 the High Court granted relief to the accused in their petition under Section 482 of the CrPC. Mr. V. Giri argues that the Court wrongly described the allegations to be of civil nature. The Informant’s counsel contends that the accused have usurped the land of the informant’s family on the basis of forged document and this cannot be described as a civil dispute as has been done, in the impugned judgement dated 16.10.2023.
