Wrongly sign as an authorized signatory

(Querist) 27 December 2013 This query is : Resolved 
If a person who was an Authorized signatory of any Co-Operative society ( like Secretary etc) and then after vacating that position for 1 year signs any document as Authorised signatory on the letter head of that society, what penal action he can face if just a police complaint is made ?

Though the certificate he issued doesn't have any monetary.

Can he claim that it was typo error and the date should have been of the tenure of his Authorized signatory ?

Nothing prohibits him signing as FOR or ON BEHALF unless the concerned person or society objects or refuses the acceptance of the letter.This is also Academic Query

Sorry if experts found it academic query. I am not sure about the rules of this forum but I can say about myself that I am not a student of law just asking for my knowledge. Unlike caclubindia.com here no anonymous questions are allowed even though sometimes identity or some similar case pattern requires to be kept confidential.

The facts mentioned in the certificate issued by the Ex office bearer as an authorized signatory if not wrong (Ex. Mr. X is the owner of this residence), what can be the consequences if police complaint is made?

If it was a non monetary letter society should send him registered letter for not resorting to such activities in future.
