Framing of Charges | Multiple Forgery Offences Under Sections 467, 468, 469 IPC Must Be Considered Alongside Cheating When Evidence Shows Systemic Fabrication : Uttarakhand HC

This mandates a holistic assessment of all applicable offences to prevent dilution of serious criminal conduct, ensuring justice for victims of institutional fraud.
