PRINCIPLE: Whoever makes any false document or part of a document with intent to cause damage or injury, to the public or to any person, or to support any claim or title, or to cause any person to part with property, or to enter into any express or implied contract, or with intent to commit fraud or that fraud may be committed, commits forgery.
FACTS: 'A' without 'Z's authority affixes 'Z's seal to a document purporting to be conveyance of an estate from 'Z' to 'A', with the intention of selling the estate to B and thereby obtaining from 'B' the purchase money.

• A. 'B' has committed forgery
• B. 'Z' has committed forgery
• C. 'A' has committed forgery
• D. 'A' and 'B' have committed forgery

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

'A' has committed forgery

A has committed forgery. If we apply the principle directly to the facts it is clear that A has used Z's seal without Z's authority with the intention of fooling B to believe that the said property belongs to him. So as to further commit fraud with B. Therefore, A has committed Forgery.
