                  --------------------------------------
           Dated this the 14th day of November, 2024



                            ORDER

This Criminal Miscellaneous case is filed challenging

Annexure-C order by which warrant is issued against the

petitioners. This Criminal Miscellaneous case is pending before

this Court from 2019 onwards. Service to the 2 nd respondent is

not complete even now. I am of the considered opinion that this

Criminal Miscellaneous case need not be retained here. The

contentions raised by the petitioners are to be raised before

the trial court, at the appropriate stage. This Court perused

Annexure-A complaint. The contention of the petitioners is by

justification of truth, which is to be proved before the trial

court at the appropriate stage. At this stage, the counsel for

the petitioners submitted that the warrant is pending against

2024:KER:85720 the petitioners. If that is the case, the petitioners can file an

application to recall the same and the learned Magistrate will

allow the same, after imposing appropriate conditions.

With the above observation, this Criminal

Miscellaneous case is disposed of.
