Stealing of fsi on paper by forgery is civil or criminal matter?
- my grandfather left a plot of 5000 sq ft with 33*48 constructed home in center.
- property was to be divided in 3 brothers.
- 2 legal document was created on 100 rs stamp paper in 1990 and signed by 3 brothers, grandmother, 5 sisters (givign noc)
- stating left(front) open portion of plot of 33*48 will be given to uncle. ready made home to yonger uncle (being jobless) and right most/rear portion of 38*48 sq ft to my father.
- later my uncle took signature of my father on construction permission document which my father signed in good faith assuming he will construct home in area allocated to him.
- Uncle never showed construction map to my father when asked frequently saying it is misplaced.
- Uncle constructed 2 story buling on left /front portion allocated to him
- however he did not left 15 sq ft open space which is mandatory per municipal rules.
- now in 2016 when we got 2 legal docs after frequent followup for 3-4 yrs from him, we noticed he had forged those 2 legal documents by applying whitner on area allocated to him (33 *48 ft) and instead wrote 44*48 ft by pen,
- when we investigated further, he had submitted map for construction permission to municipal corporation (and got permission) by showing more area of his front section as 44*48 (instead of 33*48) and showing lesser area of my fathers rear/right section as 24*48 (instead of 38*48)
- He also cheated municipal corporation while obtaining permission by showing empty space of 15*48 ft in front of his proposed home of 30*48 ft. (where as actully there is only 5*48 space available)
- He cheated municipal corporation by building wall compund in front section of plot by taking space between soc road and plot in illegial possession)
- Does this matter come is civil or criminal law? can we lodge fir for forgery under 468 of criminal law for forging leagal docs with whitner, showing incorrect /false dimensions of section of plot,
- Do we need to file police complaint? or complaint to municipal corporation to demolish his illegial construction OR file court case?
- Which route will give fastest result? how much time will it take?
