Asked from: Rajasthan
A forged document is forged one irrespective of the fact that the maker of the document actually knew the facts of the original document. If you have information that a person has forged your property papers then you should immediately lodge an FIR against that person.
Forgery is a cognisable offence therefore, you have the right to lodge an FIR. If the police officer finds that there is prima facie evidence that forgery (making forge sale deed) has been committed then he shall initiate the investigation. The investigating officer shall arrest the accused and collect all the evidence.
