Forgery of signatures in appeal documents leading to serious criminal offenses.

Analysis:
The case involved a situation where an appeal was filed in the name of the current applicant by someone impersonating him. The current applicant denied filing any previous appeal or stay application before the Tribunal, except for the current appeal. Upon examination of the appeal papers, it was found that the signatures in the previous appeal were not those of the current applicant. The current applicant confirmed his signatures on the documents related to the current appeal. The Tribunal concluded that the signatures in the previous appeal were forged, as the current applicant denied signing it and had not authorized anyone to file on his behalf except for the current appeal.

The Tribunal observed that serious criminal offenses, including fabricating false evidence and forging documents, appeared to have been committed in filing the previous appeal. The Tribunal directed the Registrar to lodge a complaint with the proper authority regarding these offenses. The entire record of the previous appeal and related applications was ordered to be kept in safe custody for investigation purposes. The Tribunal disposed of the miscellaneous application in light of these findings and directed for the order to be given DASTI.

In summary, the judgment highlighted the issue of forgery of signatures in appeal documents, leading to the commission of serious criminal offenses. The Tribunal found that the signatures in the previous appeal were forged, and directed for a complaint to be lodged with the authorities for further investigation. The case serves as a reminder of the legal consequences of fabricating evidence and forging documents in judicial proceedings.
