Hell0,

 Signing a legal document on behalf of another person without his or her consent or lawful authority is a criminal offence as well as a civil wrong under Indian law. No person can legally sign for another unless there is a valid Power of Attorney, authorisation, or statutory permission. Any document executed without consent is void, illegal, and unenforceable against the person whose signature has been forged.
