They further submit that cognizance has also been taken for the offence punishable under Sections 420/34, 406, 467, 468, 120B of the Indian Penal Code against all the accused persons, namely, (1) S.K.

The case is pending for appearance of the accused.
4. Considering the fact that the stage of the case has changed and now the cognizance has already been taken, liberty is given to the petitioners either to challenge the order taking cognizance or to file an appropriate application for discharge before the Court below and thereafter to proceed, accordingly. With the aforesaid liberty, both these criminal miscellaneous petitions are allowed to be withdrawn. If the petitioners avail any of the
aforesaid two liberties, the said applications shall be decided in accordance with law without being prejudiced by the order passed by this Court.
