Iqbal Singh Marwah&Anr vs Meenakshi Marwah&Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the conflict between two prior decisions regarding the interpretation of Section 195(1)(b)(ii) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The Court held that the bar under Section 195(1)(b)(ii) applies only when the forgery occurs after the document is produced in court, thus allowing the prosecution for forgery if it occurred prior to such production. The Court ultimately upheld the order of the Sessions Judge, remanding the case for further proceedings, thereby clarifying the application of Section 195 in cases of alleged forgery.
