A has a letter of credit upon B for rupees 10,000, written by Z. A in order to defraud B, adds a cipher to the 10,000, and makes the sum 1,00,000, intending that it may be believed by B that Z so wrote the letter. A has committed___________________?
Correct answer: B. Forgery
- A. Perjury
- B. Forgery
- C. Cheating
- D. None of these
Explanation
Adding a cipher to change the amount on Z’s letter makes a false document intended to be believed as Z’s writing, which satisfies the concept of forgery. Perjury concerns false statements under oath, while cheating concerns deception rather than this specific creation of a false document.
