My father recently passed away, and a woman has filed a case claiming to be his wife. She submitted a “Dependent Certificate” issued by the Sarpanch, but we believe it’s fake. The Sarpanch will testify that he never issued the certificate. What steps can I take or should the judge take to address this forgery?

You should inform the court about the alleged forgery and request the judge to order an investigation into the authenticity of the certificate. The judge can then examine the certificate, summon the Sarpanch for testimony, and potentially order a forensic examination to determine if the certificate is genuine.

Last year, I had a serious accident in the UAE and lost my job, adding to our hardship. After much pleading, the builder agreed to take the apartment back and promised a refund. However, out of the ₹33 lakhs we paid, they’ve only returned ₹14 lakhs, even after many follow-ups.
