Decided

Holding

The Court declined to quash the FIR and disposed of the writ petition, permitting the petitioners to seek other remedies such as anticipatory bail.

No substantive discussion on the merits of the FIR or anticipatory bail was made.

                                    After some arguments, Shri Pradeep Kumar, learned counsel for
                                    the petitioners submits that the petitioners do not wish to press
                                    the relief for quashing of the F.I.R. in the writ petition.

                                    The relief sought for quashment of the F.I.R. is accordingly
                                    declined.

                                    Shri Pradeep Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioners recasts
                                    his relief and prays that the petitioners may be granted leave to
                                    approach the competent court for anticipatory bail and for
                                    seeking other appropriate remedies available with him under the
                                    law.

                                    Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with the observation
                                    that it is always open to the petitioners to avail such other
                                    remedies as may be advised.
