National Insurance Co. Ltd. vs Sucha Singh And Ors. on 29 September, 1993
13. The observation of the Division Bench
of the Punjab and Haryana High Court in National
Insurance Co. Ltd. v. Sucha Singh that renewal
of a document which purports to be a driving
licence, will robe even a forged document with
validity on account of Section 15 of the Act,
propounds a very dangerous proposition. If that
proposition is allowed to stand as a legal
principle, it may, no doubt, thrill counterfeiters
the world over as they would be encouraged to
manufacture fake documents in a legion. What
was originally a forgery would remain null and
void forever and it would not acquire legal
validity at any time by whatever process of
sanctification subsequently done on it. Forgery is
antithesis to legality and law cannot afford to
validate a forgery.
