The Institute of Constitutional and Parliamentary Studies organised the two-day training programme on New Criminal Laws for Officials of Ministries, Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha and Legislative Assemblies.
“Persons who indulge in forgery and fabrication, especially, in respect of documentary evidence which relied upon heavily that too in order to obtain an ex-parte inunction cannot be allowed to go scot-free.”
