Impersonation fraud - 1, found by Identity Card details

The documents related to a property were produced to proplawyer for scrutiny and opinion. From the last document, it was found that the owner is Mr.G.Balaji, son of Mr.Gopal residing at Chitlapakkam. He has produced a identity card whereby it is shown as his name is G.Balaji son of K.Gopal.

The previous document, a sale deed, was studied. The claimant (Purchaser) of the said deed was Mr.G.Balaji son of S.Gopal resident of Sithalapakkam.

On further verification, it was found that the said G.Balaji of Chitlapakkam has self claimed as the owner of the property with malafied intention and tried to sell the same.

The lawyer has to scrutiny the id card for expansion of initial, address and all comprehensively.

Impersonation fraud – 2, found by Identity Card details

A landed property (vacant plot) was purchased in the year 2002 by one, a native of Thirunelveli and for the time being residing at Chennai (Arumbakkam). His id card is driving license with No.12345 issued at Thirunelveli.

Later, in the year 2008, he decided to sell it and hence he appointed an agent, ‘X’, a resident of Arumbakkam and executed a GPA (General Power of Attorney) wherein the id of executant is shown as a driving license with No.1177 issued at Chennai in the year 2002.

Based on the GPA, Mr.X tried to sell vacant plot and gave copies/ Xerox of all documents to the probable buyer, who had given it to a prop-lawyer.

The lawyer on seeing the two different driving license for a same person got a suspicion that the person who appointed Mr.X as his agent and executed the GPA may not be the same person who has originally bought the piece of plot with id card #12345 as one person can’t have two licenses.

The lawyer advised the client accordingly.

Fraud – 3, found on Comparison with electoral roll

In a preventive check, while scrutinizing the required documents of a property, it is found by a proplawyer that details about voter id card as mentioned in a document about the executant are not correct on comparing with the electoral list as available on the internet.

Accordingly the client was advised.

In a nut shell, it is advised to be vigilant about the frauds and impersonation and the details are to be verified with websites, QR code regarding the voter id, aadhar cards, etc. The family cards are not accessible at present though available on net.

Fraud – 4, found by Recital in the GPA

A woman bought a plot in Madippakkam in the year 2003 and now she lives in Ahmedabad and wants to sell the plot in the year 2016 and hence appointed one as her agent to deal with the said vacant plot.

The lawyer place three basic questions:

1.                 What is the reason behind the sales?

2.                 What is the reason for appointment of GPA?

3.                 What is reason for appointing the particular person as her agent?

The reason for first question is (might be), she bought the property long year back, now she lives at a distance place, the property being a vacant site may not fetch any considerable yielding and hence she might have decided to dispose it. This gives convincing answer.

As she resides at Ahmedabad, a distance place from the property location of Chennai, she might have thought that it was prudent to appoint a suitable agent. Thus second question also answered.

As far as the third question concerned, there is no pre-existing relationship, between the owner and the agent, could be established from the documents available before him. Hence, he decided to dig the matter further in order to form an opinion. He compared the LTI of the women as available in the sale deed of the year 2003 and that in GPA of 2016 and found those LTIs are not the same.

That is a woman tried to sell the property of another woman and cheated others. The matters subsequently happened are irrelevant to and not under the scope of our discussion, hence we leave here itself.
