The defendant forged land title documents and used them to commit fraud. The Supreme Court applied the 'single act, multiple offences' principle under Section 90. Forging a document (Section 266), using a forged document (Section 268), and fraud (Section 341) committed as one continuous act constitute multiple offences from a single act. The court imposes the punishment for the most serious offence only.
