CrPC 156(3) | Civil Court's 'Not Genuine' Finding Insufficient for FIR Registration Without Specific Forgery Allegations : Himachal Pradesh HC
Himachal Pradesh High Court rules that a civil court's observation that a document is 'not genuine' and 'procured for litigation' does not automatically establish a prima facie case of forgery under IPC Sections 467, 468, 420, or 471. For an FIR to be registered under CrPC 156(3), specific allegations of dishonest intent and fabrication must be present, not merely adverse civil findings.
