From the maintenance amount, she purchased 10.2 acres of land vide document No.1197/1984. Since the date of purchase she was cultivating the land. At the instance of the parents of the 2nd respondent, since the land was purchased with maintenance amount, suspecting that the husband may take the land, she registered the land in the name of her elder brother namely Goda Ramulu.

Even prior to the Judgment in the said suit, the land was sold to the petitioner herein. After the judgment in the said suit, she again approached the Court and filed civil suit against this petitioner/A1 and his vendor namely Abdul Hajeez and Gnana Prakash.

A fake land registration sale deed was prepared by affixing the photograph of the 2nd respondent and the said document was registered on 11/10/2004. Thereafter, the land was mutated in the ROR. Accordingly, the Police filed charge sheet against this petitioner/A1 and 9 others who are the advocate(A2) and other persons and who are signatories to the document and who were involved in the said transaction.
