Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

My cousin was working in an electronics company as a computer hardware engineer. The company director filed for some loans from delhi based banks but they submitted some forged documents and never paid the instalments for 5-6 months. So, a FIR was lodged in 2005 and my cousin was arrested and bailed out within 23 days in this case. The challan was issued to him on dec. 2008 and now on sept. 2012, the court has ordered my cousin to give his signs for forensic examination as to know whether he had sign the documents which were submitted to the banks for various loan applications. Instead, he has already given his signature on 6 A-4 sized white paper on the day of his arrest in aug., 2005. Is there any law that he could not be forced to provide his signatures again for the legal proceedings. thanks

The answer to your query can be given only after going through the FIR/charge sheet.

One may fight against self incriminating.

However, if as a matter of fact, your brother did not sign forged documents, he may give specimen signatures asked by the Court.
