Shaila Maruti Dabhane vs Krushna Kumar Thakur Advocate - Nigudkar Rajendra Pandharinath — 99/2024

Case Summary Shaila Maruti Dabhane v. Krushna Kumar Thakur & Others (Case 99/2024) The court dismissed the complaint filed by Shaila Maruti Dabhane against the respondents for alleged forgery of a power of attorney, fraudulent property transfer, and misappropriation of land acquisition compensation. The Judicial Magistrate found insufficient prima facie evidence of deliberate forgery or criminal intent, noting that the core dispute concerns heirship, title validity, and inheritance rights—matters already under inquiry before revenue authorities and therefore primarily civil/revenue issues rather than criminal ones. The court emphasized that the complaint was filed 15 years after the sale deeds were executed, only after substantial compensation became payable, and lacked corroborating witness testimony or forensic evidence to substantiate forgery allegations.
