Recently, the Supreme Court provided relief to a property buyer involved in a criminal case after a police investigation revealed that the land he bought was sold to him on the basis of a forged Will. In this case, the buyer claimed that he was unaware of the seller's wrongdoings and in good faith paid for the land, only to be a victim of fraud.
The seller had conspired with a lawyer and some to create a forged Will, which they used to sell the property. However, once other family members discovered the forgery, they filed a police complaint, leading to an FIR that included the buyer in the criminal case.
