Hello ,

File a case under PI Act and ask court to declare you as insolvent.

Regards.

Dear Sir,

Get appoint an advocate and get all the documents from the Court and then your advocate will take appropriate defense in consultation with you. Without knowing their case you cannot assume and presume the case and ultimately you will suffer a decree for recovery of money. Be aware the money suits will be decreed without any mercy as Promissory Note have presumption. You should not admit the signature in the reply notice on the promissory note. If you pursue the matter carefully with the help of advocate you will be out of danger.

2) enclose copy of handwriting expert opinion that mother signature is forged

3) send reply to legal notice denying allegations made

You can challenge the promissory note in the court during trial proceedings.

She can very well deny her signature and can even file an application for referring the promissory note for comparing her signature through handwriting experts under section 45 of Indian evidence act.

She can deny the knowledge of the person who holds the promissory note and can examine the author and the attesting witnesses about the genuineness of the said document.

Dear Sir,

First get private report from handwriting expert in your favour stating that the signature on such promissory note is forged one. Thereafter file an application under Order 26 Rule 10A which is as follows:

10A. Commission for scientific investigation.- (1) Where any question arising in a suit involves any scientific investigation which cannot, in the opinion of the court, be conveniently conducted before the court, the court may, if it thinks it necessary or expedient in the interests of justice so to do, issue a commission to such person as it thinks fit, directing him to inquire into such question and report thereon to the court.

(2) The provisions of rule 10 of this Order shall, as far as may be, apply in relation to a Commissioner appointed under this rule as they apply in relation to a Commissioner appointed under rule 9.

Further please informed that the Trial Court may reject such application and he have to challenge such orders before High Court then only you will get success. The Trial Court has wide powers under section 73 of Evidence Act, the description is as follows:

Comparison of signature, writing or seal:

When there is a dispute as to genuineness of signature, writing or seal pending before the court, Section 73 will apply. According to the section the court can compare the disputed signature, writing or seal with undisputed signature, writing or seal which have been admitted or proved to the satisfaction of the court. This section provides for a direct method of comparison of the disputed signature, writing or finger impression. In deciding a dispute whether a particular writing, signature or seal is of a particular person by whom it purports to have been written or made, the court can compare the same with other writing, signature, or seal which have already been admitted or proved to be the writing or signature or seal of that person. “It is necessary that the writing to be used as a standard should be properly proved to the satisfaction of the judge to be the handwriting of the person concerned”. In such situation the rule of prudence is that the comparison of signature by courts as a mode of ascertaining the truth should be used with great care and caution.

Challanged the validity of promissory note before the court and through application request for verification of said signatures then court shall appoint hand writing and signature expert to verify the signature from other signatures.

Since in your case only legal notice is issued reply the legal notice that signature are forge and also file a criminal complaint om said person for forgery and cheating.

Signature verification can be done by court if they file a case file an application for appointment of commissioner to conduct the examination of signature by forensic expert.

On other hand lodge a police complaint before they file a suit for recovery of money for fraud, cheating and forgery.
