Employee mistakenly submits documents, police case filed: What now?

Dear Sir/Madam,

An employee submitted a document and its attachments to two municipalities to obtain an NOC from Etisalat for a plot.

The employee, who did not know much Arabic or the procedures in that municipality, mistakenly submitted an already filled-out form from another project (which had already been stamped by the municipality) and simply changed the project information and submitted it.

The employee later realized the mistake and corrected it in one municipality. However, in the other municipality, they took it as if the employee had forged the document and filed a police case.

The company blamed everything on the employee, even though it was not his job to submit these applications.

What will happen in this case, when it was all a little mistake? No one was hurt by it, and the project was not even started; it was just a land NOC.

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.

An employee's honest mistake in submitting an incorrect document for an NOC led to suspicions of forgery by one municipality, resulting in a police case.

This is typically resolved through administrative penalties rather than severe charges.

Cooperation, rectifying the error, and providing evidence of the mistake's genuineness are key. Consult with us for guidance.

For any further legal assistance, you can WhatsApp us. We have an extensive team of knowledgeable and experienced lawyers to provide the legal assistance you need.

We will definitely be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards,

Dear Questioner,

Even though nobody got hurt in this action, he still made the mistake of forgery.

So he will be liable for his actions.

If you want, we can discuss this further in a legal consultation session for a charge of 28$.

Share your WhatsApp number if you want to go with the services.

Even if the employee has clean professional record and had no intention of bypassing any law or anything it was just an administrative mistake as he overlooked that the document was already stamped by municipality?

If you can convince the authority then they will consider. It will be better if you hire a lawyer for the same.
