You can show that document at the time of cross examination. If he admits then it is admissible and exhibited. If refuses then you have to summon the concerned official for formal proof of that document.

Those documents are in original with the Panchayat.So even if you get true zerox copies of those documents they cannot be exhibited,however you can ask questions about those documents and then show them during cross examination and if he admits his signature,the court may be requested to exhibit the documents,but if not in that case you will have to examine the Panchayat witness with original record and get those documents exhibited.
