FIR against 4 women for court paper theft

NEW DELHI: Following a trial court's order, Delhi Police has registered an FIR against five members of a family, including four women, for allegedly stealing documents from the court's records and forging the order of a magistrate.

Metropolitan magistrate Pawan Singh Rajawat had directed Delhi Police to register the FIR on the complaint of a man against his estranged wife alleging theft and forgery of judicial records. "I am satisfied that this is a fit case to direct the police authorities to conduct a thorough investigation on the allegation of the complainant regarding theft and forgery of judicial records," the magistrate had said, adding that the accused should not be arrested till the police found concrete evidence against them.

The case dates back to an FIR registered against the man in 2009 under Section 498A IPC (husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty) on a complaint made by his wife. The man had alleged that his wife had annexed many forged bills with respect to 'stridhan'. A complaint was made in this before Metropolitan Magistrate Neeraj Gaur who had directed the police to register an FIR for the offence of forgery on January 19, 2012.

The wife had moved a revision petition challenging this order. The man's counsel said when he was issued a notice about the revision petition, he realized the accused had attached with her petition a copy of his complaint on which Gaur had passed the order on the FIR.  http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/FIR-against-4-women-for-court-paper-theft/articleshow/20581518.cms
