Forgery is an act of copying someone else signature or writing and while copying the act we have to keep in mind that we imitate the characteristic of the real signatory in our forged writing and hide our own real characteristics of handwriting. Material and Methods: In this study we have studied and analysed the forged Urdu signatures of Kashmir & Sikkim population and target only to those people who are not familiar with the Urdu language.
While analysing their sample we found that the Kashmir population have done forgery with less caution as they are not very much emphasised on letter formation and re-touching and overwriting is found very less. While in Sikkim population its opposite as their writing shows much stress on letter formation which automatically caused slower speed, retouching, overwriting in their writing.
So, this study shows that knowledge of language is not only show impact while forgery but also the region cause impact but both regions have different line-quality which is found common.
