Although we acknowledge the appellant’s
plight who has suffered due to alleged acts of forgery, but
we are not able to appreciate the appellant’s contentions
as a penal statute cannot be expanded by using
implications. Section 464 of the IPC makes it clear that
only the one who makes a false document can be held
liable under the aforesaid provision. It must be borne in
mind that, where there exists no ambiguity, there lies no
scope for interpretation.
