Karunagappally for an offence punishable under Section 338 I.P.C. seeks to quash the F.I.R as well as the final report and all proceedings before the Magistrate. 2. It is too early to consider the petitioner's contention that the offence alleged is not made out. The only course open to the petitioner is to plead for a discharge in absentia. Accordingly, if the petitioner files an application within three weeks from today, the same shall be considered and disposed of without insisting on his personal appearance. This Crl. M.C is disposed of as above. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) ani.
