IPC Section 483
Here’s an explanation of IPC Section 483:
Section 483 – Making a false claim in a document for intent to cause injury
Legal Text:
"Whoever, with intent to cause, or knowing that he is likely to cause, injury to the public or to any person, makes any claim which he knows to be false, as true, in a document used or intended to be used for the proof of any right or liability, or in the transfer of property or the causing of any person to part with property, shall be punished in the same manner as if he had committed forgery."
Key Points:
This section covers making a false claim in a document that is:
Used or intended as proof of a right, liability, or property transfer.
The person knows the claim is false but makes it as if it were true.
The intent is to cause injury or loss to someone or the public.
The punishment is the same as for forgery (under Section 465 IPC), which can include imprisonment and fine.
Summary:
Section 483 IPC targets dishonest false claims made in documents related to rights, liabilities, or property transfers, punishing them as forgery due to the harm caused by such deceit.
