How can I recover land taken through document forgery?
In 2004, my brother and mother forged my land documents. We discovered this in 2020 and filed a complaint. However, the land office claimed that the fingerprints on the documents matched mine, so no action was taken. I never visited the registrar’s office—I later found out that they had taken my fingerprints while I was asleep. My brother holds all the original documents and also created a fake one in 2004. Can I request access to the register book through the RTI Act? If the ink used in the document is different, does it constitute a crime? Is there any legal way for me to recover my land?
You can file a criminal case for forgery and cheating since your land documents were faked without consent. Also, file a civil case to cancel the fake sale deed and get your land back. Through RTI, ask the registrar for copies of the documents. A court can order fingerprint and ink testing to prove the forgery. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with the best course of action. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
