Property Deeds and Criminal Liability : Supreme Court Analyses the Effect of Law

"Adjudication of forgery, cheating or use of forged documents in relation to a settlement deed will always carry a civil element. Therefore, there cannot be any general proposition that whenever dispute involves a civil element, a criminal proceeding cannot go on. Criminal liability must be examined independently."

C.S. Prasad v. C. Satyakumar [2026] GCtR 60 (SC)
