Father gave elder son POA and property settlement deeds; younger brother files forgery case against him and nephew files civil case; SC orders criminal trial

The Supreme Court has revived a criminal forgery case concerning family property settlement deeds. This landmark ruling allows criminal proceedings to run concurrently with civil disputes. The apex court overturned a High Court order that had quashed the criminal case. The criminal trial for alleged forgery and fraud will now continue, emphasizing that civil findings do not preclude criminal action.
