Appearing for cross examination

I live in Canada. I am going through a  civil litigation with my brother.  He forged my signature  on the Sale deed  and  grabed my property. 

My attorney tells me that I need to come to india and sign on the affidavit of papers to request for a cross examination. Then he will ask the oppisite parties to cross examination.  Is it the correct procedure ?

I can visit India only for few days (7 Days).  Why cann't my lawyer start  the process and inform the court  about my arrival in India and make the arrangement for the cross examination. I suspect my opposite lawyer will evade the cross examination/adjournment after adjournment when I am in India.  

My Brother lawyer submitted the sale deed to the court. when can I ask the court to send it for the lab test for verification of the forged signature.   Forged same signature appears on all the sale deed papers and he never paid any money to me. but the sale deed shows he paid 10lacs to me and I accepted it.

my brother does not have Agrement of sale. so far , he never submitted any proof  about the paid money to prove his innocense. This case is in the civil court for almost a one and half year.

Please suggest me the correct procedure..or guidance

For your evidence it is necessary to attend the court.  If other side advocate sought time for your cross examination, you can say the court your nability .  Court would consider your reuest.

Can I give power of attorney to some body to sign on the papers on behalf me before going to India.  I do not want to start requesting for the cross examination the moment I reach India becuase this would delay the process.
