Forgery Case: One year imprisonment for ex-Mayor Narasimha Iyengar

May 8, 2018

Mysuru: The First Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Court in city has sentenced former Mayor and Advocate R.G. Narasimha Iyengar to one year simple imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs.10,000 in a forgery case.

Iyengar, who was the advocate for complainant M.B. Parvathi (Tiny Bidappa), had filed a case against Allahabad Bank in 1993 at the Consumer Court for an unexplained withdrawal of money towards loan account. The Court, after hearing the case in 2006, had given the judgement in favour of Parvathi and had ordered the Bank to give two cheques for Rs. 84,600 and Rs.500 respectively to the Court.

In the meantime, Iyengar forged the signature of Parvathi and had transferred the amount to his account following which Parvathi had filed a complaint in 2008.

Following a Police complaint, the cheques and other related documents were sent to Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) which in its report dated July 1, 2009 had stated that signature and writing behind the cheque were forged. Based on the FSL report, the Police had submitted a charge-sheet against Iyengar.

The First CJM Court, which took up the hearing yesterday morning, convicted Advocate Iyengar. Judge Yashwanth Kumar, who held the Advocate guilty of the crime, sentenced him to one year simple imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 10,000 and an additional two months imprisonment if he fails to pay the fine.

Senior Assistant Public Prosecutor K.M.C. Shivashankaramurthy argued for the Government.
