Through instant petition filed u/s 528 of BNSS, 2023, petitioners are seeking quashing of FIR No.99, dated 12.11.2016, u/s 36 of the Punjab Apartment and Property Regulation Act, 1995 (PAPRA Act), registered at P.S. Koom Kalan, Distt. Ludhiana (Annexure P-), challan dated 20.09.2018 (Annexure P-2) and order of charge dated 18.05.2019 (Annexure P-3), passed by learned JMIC, Ludhiana, whereby, petitioners have been charged u/s 36 of the PAPRA Act, 1995, along with all consequential proceedings arising therefrom.
