Legal actions regarding document forgery in Jammu & Kashmir

Overview

A High Court in Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh has ordered the prosecution of a former employee of the J&K State Road Transport Corporation for allegedly using a forged medical certificate during legal proceedings.

Justice Sanjay Dhar dismissed a writ petition filed by Bashir Ahmad Ganai, ruling that a litigant relying on fraudulent documents cannot claim discretionary protection under Article 226 of the Constitution. The case centered on a dispute regarding service benefits and periods of absence, during which Ganai presented a certificate purportedly from the Government Psychiatric Diseases Hospital in Srinagar. The court described the use of the document as a “serious abuse of the judicial process” and directed the Registrar Judicial in Srinagar to lodge a criminal complaint before the Court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate.
