FRAUDULENT TRANSFERS
FRAUDULENT TRANSFERS
Fraudulent transfers occur when property ownership is unlawfully transferred without the owner’s knowledge or consent. Such transfers involve deceptive practices like forgery, misrepresentation, or coercion. These disputes require detailed investigation by legal authorities to determine the legitimacy of the transfer and take necessary legal actions against the fraudulent party. Global Law Company offers legal services to address fraudulent transfer cases, ensuring that victims receive proper representation and assistance.
In Pakistan, fraudulent property transfers are addressed under several legal provisions, including the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) and the Transfer of Property Act.
The Pakistan Penal Code contains provisions related to forgery, misappropriation, and fraud offenses that are commonly associated with fraudulent transfers. Sections such as Section 463 (Forgery), Section 468 (Forgery for the Purpose of Cheating), and Section 471 (Using as Genuine Forged Documents) are frequently invoked in cases involving fraudulent transfers. These sections criminalize the acts of creating or using forged documents, including those used in property transfers, and prescribe penalties for the offenders.
The Transfer of Property Act governs the legal aspects of property transfers in Pakistan. While primarily focused on legitimate transfers, this act includes provisions that protect individuals from fraudulent transfers. For example, Section 53A of the Transfer of Property Act safeguards the rights of bona fide purchasers for value without notice. The section stipulates that if a person in possession of property falsely represents himself as the owner and transfers the property to another party for consideration, the bona fide purchaser who acquired the property without notice of the fraud would be protected. This provision ensures that innocent parties who acquire property in good faith are not adversely affected by fraudulent transfers.
