The appellant had created a forged general power of Attorney from the respondent in his name with regard to his lands and sold it. The respondent filed an FIR under section 419 or 420 IPC and the appellant was acquitted of the charge. The second FIR was filed under sections 467,468 and 471 IPC. Held, that “in view of the conclusion that the substratum of the two FIRs are same and that the appellant has already stood acquitted on 7.8.1998 of the charge with regard to forging any general power of Attorney of the respondent.” Thus the subsequent prosecution of the appellant is completely unsustainable.
