This petition is filed under section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure to quash the cognizance taken as well as the complaint contending that disputes between the parties are purely civil in nature and O.S.No.18/2007 was disposed by Annexure A4 judgment in favour of the petitioner and in such circumstances, continuation of the proceedings is an abuse of process of court. 2. On hearing the learned counsel, I do Crl.M.C.4078/2009 2 not find it necessary to consider the question when petitioners are at liberty to seek an order of discharge under section 245 of Code of Criminal Procedure. Granting liberty to the petitioners to raise all contentions raised herein and seek an order of discharge under section 245 of Code of Criminal Procedure, the petition is disposed.
