Having regard to the nature of allegations made in the complaint, prima facie attracting the ingredients of the offences alleged, it is considered not a fit case to invoke the inherent powers of the Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C., and quash further proceedings against the petitioners/accused in Cr.No.375 of 2010. The investigation shall, therefore, go on. But, however, the petitioners/accused may not be arrested till the conclusion of investigation and filing of the charge sheet, if any. 5.
