Offence of forgery is punishable under section 465 of indian penal code and punishment is two years or with fine or both.
The bar to taking cognizance after lapse of the period of limitation is given in section 468(2)(c)of criminal procedure code 1973,is three years
,if the offence is punishable with impersionmentfor a term exceeding one year but not exceeding three years.hence case can be filed with in 3years from the date of offence of forgery
If it is filed it is live or it has filed after knowledge still it will be live
See it is not pitty offence it is forgery and cheating as land was transferred , if convicted court may pass punishment and fine which may extended to 7 years.
See if there is settlement with complainant there are chances to quash the FIR.
It depends upon the sections that have been slapped upon you by the police. The wife must have lodged an fir along cancellation of sale deed.

It`s 30 years old document, presumption of it validity and the signature and every other part of such document, which purports to be in the handwriting of any particular person, is in that person’s handwriting.

You can deny all the allegation, its not easy to prove .

Yes even after 30 years the case can be filed for forgery If the complainant doesn't have knowledge about forgery before filing of case.
When person is dead how can his sign and thumb impression be decided that it was forged,and how can thumb impression be managed not to match with previous impressions on earlier papers
Asked 6 years ago
It's a fraud case only
They can be matched with the specimen in the bank records and other government documents. The complainant can file complaint and can send the signatures for FSL.
It is difficult to prove forgery particularly so when person is dead and only his thumb impression is affixed on document
thumb impression would be compared with other documents bearing his thumb impression
When I have impersonated and signed on behalf of person who left home due to disturbed mind can my thumb impression be checked and if it occurs can I manage my finger print not to match with previous documented thumb impression Is it correct to accept claims after 25 years from the date of legal documentation When 2 of 3 not present now due to death and missed cases
Asked 6 years ago
If allegations in complaint t are that you had impersonated your brother your thumb impression can be taken and matched with that on forged document
2) complaint is barred by limitation
See you cannot change thumb impression, if medically there is some way I am not aware of same.
You deny the claim and contest before court if any such case is filed it would be difficult to match thumb if it's 25 years old.
You can't do to hide your finger print. If you try anything you will be in more mess. No 25 years will be time barred claim
Section 465 in the Indian Penal Code: Punishment for forgery—Who ever commits forgery shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to two years, or with fine, or with both.
It depends on the nature of crime and how i is narrated by the complainant to the police.
The burden of proof will be on the complainant that how he or she will prove her allegations hence you need not worry about it.
.
The crime is a crime. When the complainant lodges a complaint against you, the living person, the police knows how to extract the truth from you.
Hence you cannot take it for granted that it may not be possible for the police to nab you after so many years of the crime having taken place.
Depends on facts of case. What happened in 25 years. DO he had knowledge of such document. When he died etc.

- As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that there has been a law of limitation which would save you.
- Anyone who wants to contest the eligibility or claim in the property, will have to act within the period of 20 years in case of private land.
- But, after these many days, you are safe from her allegations, and she can’t put further claim over the property.
