This Court, at this stage when the chargesheet has been filed and the charges have also been framed, does not consider it apposite to consider the prayer for quashing of the FIR. 5.

Even otherwise, the petitioner is at liberty to challenge the order framing charges.

6.

The present petition is therefore dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to file an appropriate petition, if advised, challenging the order on charge dated 05.07.2024. AMIT MAHAJAN, J OCTOBER 1, 2024 'Aman'
