A few hundred years ago many a home contained no pen and ink for the reason that no member of the household could write. In those days document was rare and a mystery. It is difficult to realise the change that has come about from that day to the 21st century. We live in a modern era and as a part of modern society we rely more on banking instruments as we consider this as the safest option, but one can never be sure with Forgery scams. Generally, the scams happen to occur online via digital mediums. Recently, the crime rate is increasing and accused/criminals and criminal minds are forging the documents via this medium. The term ‘Forgery’ means the action of forging a copy or imitation of a document, signature, banknote or work of art. Forgery is a white-collar crime. A forgery is a fraudulent act of creating a copy of a document, signature, a banknote or work of authorship that is intended to be passed off as genuine when it is not. Forgery in simple terms is fabricating and producing false document or part of the document to cause harm to an individual. Most common Forgery includes documents, work of arts, money, signatures in cheques or cheque fraud. The term, in general, is termed as ‘drawing’ and not ‘writing’. Forgery is a criminal offence and is defined under section 463-477A of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. It deals with offences relating to Forgery, forged documents, and making or possessing counterfeit seal, etc with intent to commit Forgery. The code defines Forgery as the making of the false document in order that it may be used as genuine. This is also cognizable, a no compoundable, non- bailable offence. Imprisonment awarded to the accused is a maximum of 2 years. Section 463 of the Indian Penal Code defines Forgery as whoever makes any false record or document or even a part of false record document with an intention to cause damage or injury or making false document has to have done Forgery. In a landmark case Sushil Suri v C.B.I, the Supreme Court laid down the basic elements of Forgery in section 463 of IPC which are the making of a false document or part of it; such making should be with the intent to cause damage or injury to the public or any person or; to support any claim or title or; to cause any person to part with property or; to commit fraud or that fraud may be committed. A most common form of Forgery includes signing someone’s name on cheques, documents, data, objects, contracts, certificates, licenses, etc.
