A reading of the complaint reveals prima facie case against the petitioners. Therefore, I see no merits in the criminal petition. 5) Accordingly, the criminal petition is dismissed. However, the petitioners are at liberty to take all the pleas raised before this Court before the trial Court. ______________________ P.SWAROOP REDDY, J 4th November, 2009 SUR
