Forged signatures

in the application for interim maintenance someone has forged the wifes signatures (possibly her advocate) and submitted to the court. the signatures are visibly mismatch. the wife now defends that it her signature and it got changed as she had signed interim application in a moving train. the signatures nowhere looks shaky. the husband has produced wifes original pan card to the court where her signatures are completely different.

my question is if it is established that the wife had misleaded the court and someone else had signed the application and submitted the interim application to the court will there be any prosecution to the wife and the person forging the signature.

wife can not be booked for forgery as what she did is not fraud in her..same thing for example can be best understood when parties signature are made on her behalf by his advocate...this can not be forgery from my view..let other expert answer...one more thing u need put how court is misled by so called forged signature

How does the law deals with a person who claims it his/her signature and then is unable to replicate it ? but signs or switches back to original signature.

The advocate does not claim to have sign on behalf of the client rather advocate has signed in confirmation of the false signature to be the real signature.

Can somebody throw more light...

1. Is a Affidavit with forged signature also annexed with interim maint. application.

2. If this brief from Delhi we can help free of cost as we got FIR lodged on similar set of situation on a wife who is now begging for mcd on husbands terms !

I don't see any pint in pusuing the matter whether the signatures on the petition for interim maintenence are genuine, or not after the petitioner's admission that the impugned signatures are hers. It will unnecessarily delay the matter with a very minimal scope of sucess.
