Forged gift deed

We have executed a gift deed to a charity before 1998 (i.e there was no practice of scanning documents at SRO office and contents used be copied into big book). The deed we signed, before it was presented to the SRO, did have very crucial conditions which makes it a conditional gift. Non-compliance of which should make the gift reverting to us.

When we applied for a certified copy of the gift recently, the SRO has given a copy written on a stamp paper. The contents in  this one  are entirely different from the one we actually signed. There are no signatures on the copy received from SRO to check and verify our signatures.

It appears that the document registered is different from the document we signed meaning that our signatures could have been forged on this faked document and presented to the SRO. We signed and gave thumb impression at SRO thinking this is the document we signed. How to prove that this document was a forged one and our signatures are forged. Unfortunately the two witnesses attested the document passed away already. What happens if the donee needs to prove the execution of this deed of gift  in a court of law.

If no such attesting witness can be found,it must be proved that the attestation of one attesting witness at least is in his handwriting,and that the signature of the person executing the document is in the handwriting of that person.

Thanking you,
