NAGPUR: A man has been sentenced to three years jail term for forging his father's will to appropriate his elder's brother property in his name. The date of release of the landline connection of the notary exposed the forgery.
Radheshyam Agrawal had built two houses in Gokulpeth and intended to leave one each to his two sons Prakash and Subhash. Radheshyam passed away in January 2001. After his father's death, the younger brother, Subhash hatched plans to obtain both the houses.
In connivance with a notary, AM Satpute, he forged a will of Radheshyam Agrawal, which bequeathed both the houses to him. The date on the forged will is December 16, 2000, which just a few days before Radheshyam expired.
However, in reality this was executed sometime after November 2002. The landline number of the notary Satpute was mentioned as 5611696. The elder brother, Prakash Agrawal obtained documents under Right to Information (RTI) Act, which showed that Tata Teleservices did not start issuing numbers beginning with 56 in Nagpur before November 2002. This was an irrefutable evidence that the will was forged.
Handwriting expert Asha Machharial also gave an opinion that Radheshyam's signature was forged. Based on these evidence, judicial magistrate first class (JMFC) MS Sahasrabuddhe convicted Subhash Agrawal.
