Legal Question in Criminal Law in India
My Sister suspects her in-laws to have forged her signature to change bank instructions of Fixed Deposits etc. Therefore, I have sent an appliction to the Central Bank(by the right to information act), asking them to disclose all information regarding that FD and it's corrosponding bank account, into which interest was deposited.
But, now she is afraid that if her signature has been forged, the officials will act on it, without her nkowing / consent.
So, my question is -
by the Information Act,
Would the bank immediately "arrest" my sister's in-laws after knowing that they have forged her sig. Or is my sister's consent required before that? How does it work?
Suppose we want to "drop all charges" on them? Or perhaps go ahead with the arrest, what will be the legal consequences?

once the bank finds that the signatures have been forged, then either the bank or you will have to file complaint before the police for registration of FIR. After it is registered then alone the accused would be arrested. Until the complaint is made to the police, one may settle the matter amicably.
