Forged Sale Deeds, Fake GPAs & Title Fraud
Property grabbed by forged documents or illegal transfer destroys value and peace of mind. At Raizada Law Associates, we represent victims of forgery and fraudulent grabbing of property in Delhi — advising on immediate steps (FIR, interim injunction), running title verification and pursuing civil and criminal remedies to restore title, possession and damages.
What are “forgery” and “fraudulent grabbing” in property matters?
Forgery” typically involves fabrication, alteration or misuse of instruments — sale deeds, GPA (general power of attorney), mutation entries or encumbrance certificates — with intent to cause wrongful gain. “Fraudulent grabbing” means obtaining possession or attempting to record a sham title to dispossess the lawful owner. Criminal provisions commonly invoked include the IPC offences for forgery and cheating, and procedural steps include FIR, forensics and civil relief.
Typical scenarios we see
- Sale deeds or agreements executed with forged signatures or fake IDs (e.g., forged sale deed / fake sale deed).
- Fraudulent or forged GPAs used to transfer property.
- Duplicate / falsified encumbrance certificates or doctored mutation entries.
- Syndicate land-grab operations using forged records to sell the same plot repeatedly. (Common across NCR and neighbouring states; media and legal blogs document frequent occurrences).
Immediate steps (what to do right away)
- Preserve originals and collect evidence: original title deeds, all receipts, correspondence and payment proofs.
- Lodge a police complaint (FIR) — property forgery frequently attracts sections for forgery, cheating, criminal breach of trust and conspiracy. File without delay
- Get an urgent injunction: approach civil court for interim relief (injunction/status quo) to prevent further transfers or resale.
- Commission document verification & title search (sub-registrar checks, encumbrance certificate and chain of title). Verifying the sale deed and encumbrance certificate is a key step to spot forgery.
Legal remedies we pursue (civil & criminal)
Criminal remedies (immediate/parallel):
- Lodge FIR under relevant sections (forgery/cheating/CBT). We coordinate with police, investigate and assist forensic handwriting/signature expert reports.
Civil remedies:
- Suit for declaration, cancellation and rectification of documents (to cancel forged sale deed).
- Possession suit/recovery of possession (trespass/ejection/dispossession remedies).
- Suit for permanent injunction and damages.
- Applications for urgent ex parte injunctions and interim relief before trial.

FAQs
Preserve originals, immediately file an FIR, and seek an urgent interim injunction — we can draft both FIR and civil application.
Yes — courts can set aside forged instruments and restore the original title. Civil cancellation and restitution are the usual remedies.
Timelines vary — interim injunctions can be obtained quickly, but final cancellation depends on evidence and trial length.
Often both: criminal action addresses the offence (forgery/cheating) while civil suit cancels the instrument and restores title.
Cross-check with sub-registrar records, obtain encumbrance certificate, and instruct forensic signature analysis when needed.
