Dear Sir, Yes, you can lodge complaint with Police and get handwriting expert report to establish that your signature is forged. If Police registered FIR it would be looked after by Public Prosecutor otherwise you have to file Private Complaint through your private lawyer. Further, you may file contempt application before Civil Court for forging your signature and wrongly preparing sketch map in the Court which accepted your compromise petition.
