He further added that the petitioner has also filed a civil suit in respect of the issue, which is the subject matter of instant petition.
It appears that the case is fresh one and is under investigation, therefore, it would be appropriate and in fitness of things that the petitioner may put his defence and other material, if any, available with him, before the investigation officer of the case and in case, if, challan has been submitted the petitioner may approach the concerned Court for appropriate relief at first instance. The petition in hands being devoid of merits is hereby dismissed in limine.
