4. Since the learned counsel for the petitioners is not in a position to apprise the Court with regard to the stage of the case, as such, the court is not inclined to entertain the quashing application.

5. Accordingly, the present quashing application stands rejected.

6. However, the petitioners are not denuded of raising all issues at an appropriate stage in the trial. (Satyavrat Verma, J) Rishabh/- U T
