What legal actions can I take for a forged signature?

I am living outside India. My tenant, also living abroad, has misused my signature to produce a lease agreement that I never signed. What are my options regarding my forged signature? The tenant is exploiting this agreement and extracting money from me. He is abroad on a work permit, and any criminal charges could revoke his work permit.

You should file a police complaint for forging your signature and misusing your identity. You can also approach a civil court to challenge the fraudulent lease agreement. Seek legal advice to file a suit for cancellation and recovery of any money or damages you lost due to the fraud. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
