On hearing the learned counsel, I do not find it necessary for this court to consider the contention of the petitioners at this stage. As learned Magistrate has taken cognizance for the offences on Annexure-A1 final report and the case is being tried as a warrant case ,petitioners are at liberty to approach the learned Magistrate and seek an order of discharge under Section 239 of Code of Criminal Procedure. Petitioners are entitled to file a CRMC 2765/09 2 petition under Section 239 of Code of Criminal Procedure for discharge and raise all the contentions raised herein. If a petition is filed to dispense with the presence of second petitioner for the purpose of filing a petition under Section 239 of Code of Criminal Procedure, learned Magistrate should not be insisted for the presence.
