As it is brought to my notice that one of the accused has already moved the Gujarat High court for quashing of the criminal case registered against them, in which the Gujarat High court has granted interim relief, which has the effect of staying further investigation of the case, in my view, nothing survives for consideration in the present application. In any case, the applicant before this court can take recourse to appropriate remedy before the Gujarat High court, to be considered alongwith the proceeding already pending before that court at the instance of co-accused arising out of the same complaint. 2 2. To enable the applicant to take necessary steps in that behalf, this application can be disposed of by giving limited protection to the applicant for a period of one week from today. 3.
