WSuppose someone created a fake bank account in my wife’s name, encashed the DD and withdrew all the money from the account.
Then the complainant could produce some statement from the DD issuing bank that the amount was credited to this fake bank account.
The minute my wife approaches the court she will be arrested because the fake bank account will serve as evidence against her. Then she will have to make rounds of the court for years proving the fake bank account isn’t hers.
This was a scenario that our lawyer shared with us. The other person involved in this case is our distant relative who had once managed to create a bank account in the name of an elderly relative without their knowledge some years ago. He also lives in a small town so this could be possible with the banks connivance.
This is why we are trying to find the status of the DD. If we find its cancelled then my wife is 100% safe. If we find it has been credited to another account then we will first showcause the second bank that a fake account has been created in my wife’s name and then approach the court for quashing or anticipatory bail.
Everything depends on finding out the fate of the DD.
WWe did initially give this to the lawyer along with AIS statement and IT returns. However, there is a possibility that someone has fraudulently opened a bank account in my wife’s name or someone who share my wife’s name has encashed the DD.The other person is claiming that he has entered into a business agreement with my wife and another person.
This could be a case of identity theft or some actual person who shares my wife’s name.
My lawyer has advised that since we have found out about the case so belatedly there be a NBW in my wife’s name by this time. So he is advising to gather solid evidence and then approach high court for quashing.
