Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that charge-sheet is filed in the said crime, but, it does not indicate any allegation against the petitioner, thus, there is no case made out against the petitioner.

Therefore, this Court is of the opinion that this is not a fit case for quashing the proceedings against the petitioner in the aforesaid crime.

In view of the above and as charge-sheet has already been filed in the aforesaid crime, personal appearance of the

However, it is open for the petitioner to file a petition for discharge before the trial Court. Subject to the above, the Criminal Petition is disposed of.
