AI Assist
Summary
Making or altering any document or electronic record, or any part of it, with the intent to cause loss or injury to the public or any person, to support a false claim or title, to induce someone to part with property or enter a contract, or to commit fraud, is forgery. The offence hinges on the dishonest intent behind the false document or record. A person who does this commits forgery.
Example
Priya alters the owner name on a property sale deed to show she owns a shop, then uses that paper to sell the shop to Karan. Because she made a false document to support a false claim and cause another person to part with property, she has committed forgery.
