It is too early for this Court, in a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C, to consider whether the case against the petitioners is prima facie false and that FIR is liable to be quashed and investigation is liable to be stayed. In case the Police, after investigation, files a final report charge- sheeting the petitioners and in case grounds exist to assail the charge sheet, the petitioners may work out their remedies by moving the appropriate court. This Crl.M.C is disposed of directing the Police not to unnecessarily harass the petitioners during investigation. Dated this the 20th day of July, 2010 V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) sj
