CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN MONGA Present:- Mr. Gautam Dutt, Advocate, Mr. Ribhav Singla, Advocate for petitioners.

Mr. Sandeep Kumar, DAG Punjab.

***** ARUN MONGA, J. (ORAL) Present petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr. P.C. for quashing FIR No.61 dated 13.06.2014, registered under Sections 420, 120-B of IPC, at Police Station City Budlada, District Mansa.

2.

At the outset, learned State counsel, on instructions from HC Ginder Singh, submits that during pendency of petition, trial is half way through as out of 9 witnesses, 3 have already been examined.

3.

Being so, it is too belated at this stage, to quash FIR as pleas taken in this Court and the other defences which he may have to take, can now be taken up before learned trial Court after conclusion of testimony of rest of witnesses. 4.

Petition is disposed of, accordingly with liberty aforesaid. 5.

Pending application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of. (ARUN MONGA) JUDGE July 21, 2023 mahavir Whether speaking/reasoned:
