Copy of chargesheet has been placed on record as Annexure R-1. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the opinion that during investigation, incriminating material was found against the petitioners. Accordingly, challan has been filed in a Court having competent jurisdiction. On consideration of the documents accompanying the final report under Section 173 Cr.P.C., charges have been framed. The Court is now seized of the matter. Considering the stage of the case, no ground for interference, at this stage, is made out. The petition is dismissed. The petitioners, however, would be at liberty to take all the pleas taken in this petition during the course of trial as permissible in law. (AJAI LAMBA) March 15, 2010 JUDGE avin 1.
