No,its not legal.
It is not said to be a free consent and thus void.He has to establish that the consent is taken forcefully.
Read section 14 of the Indian Contract Act,1872
14- "Free consent" defined.-Consent is said to be free when it is not caused by –
(1) coercion, as defined in section 15, or
(2) undue influence, as defined in section 16, or
(3) fraud, as defined in section 17, or
(4) misrepresentation, as defined in section 18, or
(5) mistake, subject to the provisions of sections 20, 21 and 22.
Consent is said to be so caused when it would not have been given but for the existence of such coercion, undue influence, fraud, misrepresentation or mistake.

Even u can file a criminal case under section 384 I.P.C Extortion.

Whoa. The moment you say 'forced to sign' the agreement shalt become NULL and VOID because any agreement has a clause like 'not under duress'.

Dear,
you have to complain before the concerned police station regarding the kidnap and launch criminal case against them narrating the enire facts including the forceful execution of document. At the same time you have to file a civil suit to get the document declared null and void stating that the document has been executed by you is the result of criminal force. If you makes any delay in doing the above said will put you in trouble at the later stage and you cant answer the dealy caused by you to asking legal remedy and presumed to be the document is a good one and you are falsyfying and fabricating the story.

Dear
I fully agree with Menon. Something convincing is required to establish the case that sign was taken forcible. If police compliant and investigation is not done the how you will establish in court of law that sign was taken forciblly. Any body or signatory can say this later on due to certain reasons.
Proper ground be prepred for establishing ur case of forcible sign.
