Petition filed under Sec.482 Cr.P.C.

2. The petitioners are accused in C.C. No.430 of 2013 on the file of Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-I, Aluva. The prayer is to quash the proceedings in the criminal case on the ground that the Magistrate took cognizance of the offence after the period of limitation.

3. If that is true, the proper remedy of the petitioner is to bring the matter to the notice of the learned Magistrate who shall pass an order on merits. With the above observations this Crl.M.C. is disposed of.
