Mr.H.S.Bakshi, Advocate, for respondent No.3. * * * * Mehinder Singh Sullar, J. (Oral) At the very outset, learned State counsel has submitted that since charges have already been framed and case is slated for evidence of the prosecution, therefore, the petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing the FIR is not maintainable, in view of the law laid down by the Hon'ble Apex Court in case Minakshi Bala v. Sudhir Sharma, 1994(3) RCR Criminal 123. 2. Faced with this situation, learned counsel intends to withdraw the petition to enable the petitioner to avail appropriate remedy challenging the order of framing of the charges. 3. Dismissed as withdrawn with the aforesaid liberty. 4. Needless to say since it is an old case, so the trial Court is otherwise directed to dispose of the case within six months from the date of receipt of copy of this order.
