Crl. Misc. No. M-29877 of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Case No. : Crl. Misc. No. M-29877 of 2008 Date of Decision : November 10, 2009 Ajmer Kaur and others .... Petitioners Vs. State of Punjab and another .... Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL * * * Present : Mr. I. P. S. Kohli, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG, Punjab for respondent no. 1. None for respondent no. 2. * * * L. N. MITTAL, J. (Oral) : Ajmer Kaur and three others have filed this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (in short – Cr.P.C.) for quashing of FIR No.69 dated 13.05.2006, under Sections 419, 465, 467, 471 and 120-B of the Indian Penal Code (in short – IPC), registered at Police Station City Mansa, District Mansa, along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. According to the allegations in the FIR, the petitioners have prepared a forged Will dated 18.12.1991, registered on 19.12.1991, Crl. Misc. No. M-29877 of 2008 2 allegedly executed by Gurtej Kaur (since deceased). However, alleged thumb impressions of Gurtej Kaur on the said Will do not tally with standard thumb impressions of Gurtej Kaur, as per report of finger-print expert. Learned counsel for the petitioners contended that the complainant himself has also produced forged Will of Gurtej Kaur, which does not bear her thumb impressions as per report of handwriting expert (Annexure P-4). However, this contention would not exonerate the petitioners of the allegation of forging Will dated 18.12.1991. It may provide them a ground for prosecuting the complainant party for forging the alleged Will of Gurtej Kaur. In so far as the case against the petitioners is concerned, there is report Annexure P-5 of finger-print expert that thumb impressions of Gurtej Kaur on the impugned Will do not tally with her thumb impressions on registered mortgage deed executed by her on 09.06.1962, In view of the aforesaid, it cannot be said that allegations in the FIR do not disclose the commission of any offence by the petitioners. Consequently, there is no sufficient ground for quashing the impugned FIR. The instant petition is accordingly dismissed. However, nothing observed herein above shall be construed as expression of opinion on the merits of the case. November 10, 2009 ( L. N. MITTAL ) monika JUDGE
