Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MEHINDER SINGH SULLAR Present:- Mr.Vipin Mahajan, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr.Shilesh Gupta, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, for the respondent-State. * * * * Mehinder Singh Sullar, J. (Oral) At the very outset, learned counsel has pointed out that the charges have already been framed in this case and 16 witnesses have already been examined, therefore, the present petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of the FIR is not maintainable in view of the law laid down by the Hon'ble Apex Court in case Minakshi Bala v. Sudhir Sharma, 1994(3) RCR Criminal 123. 2. Faced with this situation, learned counsel intends to withdraw the present petition to enable the petitioners to raise all the points involved in the instant petition at the time of challenging the order of framing charge before the Sessions Judge along with application of condonation of delay or at any subsequent stage in the trial Court. 3. Dismissed as withdrawn with the aforesaid liberty. 4. Needless to say that the concerned Court would consider the application for condonation of delay sympathetically.
