% 06.03.2017 Issue notice. Notice is accepted on behalf of the State. Respondent no.2 is present in court and accepts notice. She is identified by the I.O. The petitioners have preferred the present writ petition to seek quashing of FIR 292/2010 under Section 379/452/323/506/468/471 IPC registered at PS Sunlight Colony on the basis of settlement arrived at between the parties.

Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the parties are siblings and have resolved their disputes. Respondent No.2, who is present in court, states that in view of the settlement, she also joins the prayer for quashing of

the FIR and the proceedings arising therefrom. Mr. Kundu points out that in the present case, the petitioners have set up a forged and fabricated will and the forensic examination has established the said forgery.

On this, learned counsel for the petitioner, on instructions, states that the petitioners are ready and willing to atone for their conduct. Since the case involves forgery of a will and the same has also been prima facie established by forensic examination, initially I was not inclined to quash the FIR. However, the petitioners have expressed their regret and to show their bonafides have offered to pay such costs as may be determined by the court.

In view of the aforesaid, subject to payment of Rs.30,000/- as costs with Prime Minister's National Relief Fund within two weeks, the FIR and the proceedings arising therefrom shall be quashed. The receipt of payment of costs be provided to the I.O. and whereafter the case shall be closed. VIPIN SANGHI, J MARCH 06, 2017 sr
