We have heard learned counsel for the applicants and learned A.P.P. for the respondent No.1-State. We have carefully perused the contents of F.I.R. We find that the offences are disclosed and need investigation. Therefore, this is not the stage where this court shall invoke extraordinary jurisdiction under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. and quash and F.I.R. Hence, this application stands rejected. ( V. K.
