Signature forgery

Hi experts....

I really need ur help....

I've entered into partnership with a friend of mine since 2006.At the beginning, everything was smooth but after the business started picking up gear, ma friend's behaviour began to change..Lemme put in a short way...

Now, he is filed a complaint with the police that i've forged his signature on the cheques of the firm without his knowledge. He is also filed a case that i hav forged signature on the panchayath license too....

What do i do now ???He is trying to take revenge on me...

Ma doubts are :

1. When there is signature forgery, how are the investigations done?

2. Against which sample signature r they goin to compare the forged one ?

3. Is the signature analysis report always true?

4. If i'm totally innocent, r there any chances tht still i will b held guilty?

5. How can i defend myself ?

6. The cheques tht the complainant is mentioning has been used only for business purposes and not for personal needs...can i depend on tht statement ??

im all worried...i dont knw what to do...pls help me

Did you issue those cheques to someone to clear the liability of the firm or it was cleared to your account or you withdrew cash ?

That is the major point of consideration, it seems Bank cleared the cheque, that means even his admitted signature on bank record are matching with the signature on the cheque, so it may be difficult to prove that you forged his signature.
