No. Such a misrepresentation in itself cannot be said to be forgery.

Whoever makes any false document or false electronic record or part of a document or electronic record, with intent to cause damage or injury, to the public or to any person, or to support any claim or title, or to cause any person to part with property, or to enter into any express or implied contract, or with intent to commit fraud or that fraud may be committed, commits forgery.
Misrepresentation is a contract law concept. It means a false statement of fact made by one party to another party, which has the effect of inducing that party into the contract. For example, under certain circumstances, false statements or promises made by a seller of goods regarding the quality or nature of the product that the seller has may constitute misrepresentation. A finding of misrepresentation allows for a remedy of rescission and sometimes damages depending on the type of misrepresentation.
Hence, we cannot say that false statement or misrepresentation be deemed as forgery

However the crime comes under the defination of cheating i.eu/s420ipc as he did agreement knowing that he is not owner of property and does not have any right to make any agreement regarding that .
