The underlying purpose of having a signature witnessed by a third party is for evidential reasons. The witness would be able to confirm that the signature on the agreement is indeed the signature of the party whose name appears.
In India a contract may be effective without any signatures being witnessed, although it is always advisable to have a contract attested by witnesses. In some countries, in order to be legally enforceable, the contract may have to be signed before a notary public. As different jurisdictions have different rules, always check the position before finalising the contract.
When a signature is witnessed, as well as signing, it is sensible for the witness to write their name in block capitals and insert their home address.

whether the same has been registered or not you have failed to clarified in your query , hence it could not be possible to help you out. Though I am taking into consideration that the same has been registered in that case whether you had appeared before the registrar , if so than you are liable to answer the Police in case of any summons served upon you which please note.
