sign on blank 50rs stamp paper in 2013

[Raman Ramanjaneyulu]

hi
one of myvrelative took 5rs lacs from me in 2013. He had signed on 50rs stamp paper (blank) without any date and matter on the stamp paper.

now in 2019, he is not interested to pay the money even without interest.

Can i use the old stamp paper with new date and go to court

what will be positive and negative consequences.
please advise
thanks
raman

Converting an old signed stamp paper to a new contract may amount to forgery, depending on facts of the case. Changing a document in this manner in a dishonest or fraudulent manner may come within the definition of “Making a false document” under Section 464 of the IPC, which may amount to forgery, depending on detailed facts of the case.
