That's good.However there is no bar of law for lamination.There must not be any tempering in the document.

Normally the parties takes allegation of forgery of signatures and when the other party disputes the allegations, the court will send the original documents for expert opinion i.e. finger print expert and forensic science laboratory. Then it will be difficult for the expert to come to the conclusion that whether the signature is genuine or forged. Normally the experts will conduct chemical test on the papers and ink they used, where they cannot get good results. Then the case may become weak. In my opinion it is better not to laminate the paper, instead you can paste a cloth with gum back of the document.
