Why not refer the Handwriting Expert, get his Opinion, then go for declaration of the doc as null & void.
U must prove, u came to know within last 3 years, and u had no access to the forged doc, or no one inform u about it earlier.

First file a suit and then go for appointment of handwriting expert who would be appointed by the court only.
Prior report may not be binding on the court.
