Multiplelegal  issues are involved in  the query.

It is advisable to contact and engage a local prudent lawyer for proper analyses of facts / documents, guidance and necessary proceeding.

You can always file a petition seeking opinion of handwriting experts with regard to the disputed signature and also raise the issue of frabricated rubber  stamp through FSL or at least you can seek permission of court to send the papers for handwriting experts opinion with regard to the disputed signature even at this stage while the trial had just begun.

The opposite advocate can no doubt object but it is for the court to decide.

Sir court has refused for exhibiting envolap marked as exhibit which is filed with written arguments as other side advocate say that my evidence already closed.

Now matter for order on sign verification application, may be reject on ground of delay.

So what is next step taken from side, appear to higher court is only remedy for me

Plase note that the exhibits cannot be marked during the argument stage.

If at all you want to mark any additional document as exhibit before the court then you may have to file a petition to reopen and recall the witness and the permission to file addtional documents through the witness for marking them as exhibits.

Thank you sir your guidance 

Written arguments filed on application for sign verification by me along with fake envolap and request to mark exhibit, But court refused.

Defendant witness yet to be cross examine after order on application of sign verification 

So how to exhibit it and if sign verification not allow then how what is best option to me.

Whether high court or criminal court as matter is 14 yrs old.
