(Oral) Petitioners have brought this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for quashing of F.I.R. No. 139 dated 24.10.2006 registered under Sections 406, 420, 120-B of the Indian Penal Code at Police Station Dakha, District Ludhiana and all subsequent proceedings arising therefrom. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that in this case the charge is yet to be framed and as such he be allowed to raise all these pleas taken in this petition before the trial court. His request appears to be genuine. Moreover, the entire material and the evidence collected by the police must be tagged with the report submitted under section 173 Cr.P.C. Therefore, the trial court would be able to appreciate the pleas contained in Criminal Misc. -M No. 13786 of 2008 (O&M) -2- this petition in an effective manner. Thus, this petition is disposed of with a direction that the learned trial court shall take into consideration the pleas raised before it at the time of framing the charge and then pass an appropriate speaking order in the matter after hearing arguments from both the parties.
