The District Sessions Court has ordered an FIR against a woman who allegedly forged the signature of a land holder to grab his one gunta land in Byathahalli. The Court has asked the Nazarbad Police to investigate if the signature has been forged by one Padma, also a resident of Byathahalli as alleged by complainant Nanjundaswamy.

Nanjundaswamy had filed an application in the Court in 2015 (PCR No. 38/2015) and had stated that on 14.5.1985, he had purchased two guntas land under Survey Number 14/3 from one Basappa, son of Madamma. Accordingly, he had finalised the registration process in the Mysore North Sub-Registrar office, he stated.

Out of the registered land, on 14.9.1998, he sold one gunta land to Padma of the same village. He told the Court that Padma had forged his signature to grab the remaining one gunta land that actually belonged to him. While he sold only one gunta land, Padma, forging his signature, had registered two guntas land in the sub-registrar’s office, he told the Court.

Following the complaint, the District Sessions Court has, on Mar. 27, 2017, ordered registration of FIR against Padma.
