Either the boy is very smart or the father is hiding the fact that he can use screen readers to do all that.

A Delhi-based 14-year-old-boy is being investigated for forging Supreme Court and Delhi High Court orders in favour of his blind father after the man lost a legal battle against his employers. The child also created a fake apex court website and uploaded the forged documents on it. The teenager went a step ahead and impersonated senior Supreme Court judges and their staffers to ensure that the fake order copy was also implemented in a bid to restore his father's reputation. According to his statement to the police, the child mentioned how his father, who worked as assistant professor in a college, had filed several complaints against the principal and the management alleging irregularities, but no action was taken. "We even went up to the Supreme Court but the case was dismissed. My father got really tense and depressed after losing the case. On his instructions, I had helped him draft the petition on the laptop and even given him updates from the court website. After it was dismissed, we came up with the idea of creating a fake Supreme Court website and uploaded the order that we forged in our favour," said the minor's statement. According to the police, the child uploaded the order on social media and even sent it to his father's acquaintances on messaging apps to make the actions appear official. The child is suspected to have functioned under his father's supervision. At first, the order copy was sent to the chief metropolitan magistrate of a district court, seeking compliance. With no response, the duo decided to try this on the Delhi High Court. "Posing as chief justice, he sent the order copy to one of the senior High Court judges seeking compliance of the forged order. They were later called to file a fresh petition before the court," said police sources The boy also managed to create a fake Supreme Court seal to give documents a genuine look. The day the matter came up for hearing in the High Court, the judge was shocked to learn that the order copy and other documents being produced were fake and no such favourable order was ever passed. The police registered a case under charges of criminal conspiracy, and forging an authoritative document for the purpose of cheating and using it as a genuine one. Officials said the child had sent the e-mails from a cyber cafe and also shopped for material to create a fake Supreme Court seal from a stationery shop in the Khan Market. The juvenile was apprehended in December last year. While the father is lodged in Tihar Central Jail, the minor was granted bail following an undertaking. However, after reaching home, the boy yet again impersonated a senior Supreme Court judge and sent mails to lower court judges to quash the FIR and grant bail. The teen even created a fake email ID of the investigating officer in this case and sent a mail to his school principal, seeking rustication. In a fresh application to the court, the investigating officer in the case has sought that the minor be kept in the observation home and mentioned that he needs long-term counselling. -- Avinash Shahi Doctoral student at Centre for Law and Governance JNU The list has now migrated to www.accessindia.inclusivehabitat.in You should now post to the id: a...@accessindia.inclusivehabitat.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.
