Install apk without knowing previous key store

Multi tool use
Currently am working on application which needs installation of apk through program and update it. The installation fails every time due to signature conflict.
I do not know the key store for application which was used earlier. How do I handle this?

uninstall the old version first. You can't install an update of the APK if their signatures differ.
