Forgery of Official Documents and Associated Property Transfer Claims
The Plaintiff alleges that between March 5, 2008 and March 7, 2008, the Defendant brazenly forged official documents, namely, a Change of Address Form (Form TR 6), number oooo1, which had not yet been filled with any text, placing written text into the various blank spaces in March 2008. The Defendant requested a change of address for Mr. Wicha Saengsawang from house number 20, 5, Muang District, Surin Province, to house number 445/221, Ban Chumchon Pattana, Tueng Maha, by the Defendant signing his own name as the outgoing applicant and the Sathorn District, Bangkok Metropolitan Administration. He forged the signature of Mr. Somkhao Saengsanit, Assistant Officer of Muang Surin, as the receiving applicant. This occurred purportedly at Tambon Sangdae, Muang District, Surin Province and Somkhao Saengsanit and the public are not specified. The Plaintiff requests punishment according to the Penal Code Sections 264 and 265.
The Court shall determine whether the Plaintiff’s allegations are consistent with the law under the Criminal Procedure Code Section 158 (5).
The Criminal Procedure Code Section 158 (5) states that the Plaintiff’s claim must involve a series of acts that the Defendant is alleged to have committed, regarding the time, place, and circumstances of the alleged act, including persons or objects related to the extent that the Defendant would understand the charge well. The Plaintiff has stated the facts regarding the forgery, how, when, and where it occurred, including the details of time and place of the offense. He has also identified the person who signed the Defendant’s name as the outgoing applicant and identified Mr. Somkhao Saengsanit, Assistant Officer of Muang Surin, as the receiving applicant, which is sufficiently related to allow the Defendant to understand the charge. The Plaintiff has stated that the Defendant’s actions were done with the intent to deceive a person into believing that the Change of Address Form was a genuine official document, thus the claim does not allege that the Defendant has committed all the elements of the offense under the Criminal Procedure Code Section 158 (5).
