The petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case and no any materials are available as against this petitioner however the first respondent filed charge sheet and therefore the pending charge sheet is liable to be quashed.

¶19

The learned counsel appearing for the first respondent would submit that based on the complaint given by the second respondent first respondent registered a case in crime No. 125 of 2023 for the offences under Sections 279 and 304(A) of IPC and thereafter after investigation filed final report and as per the final report there are prima facie materials available to proceed against the accused to constitute the above mentioned

offences, hence he has to face the trial and thereby the petition is liable to be dismissed.

¶23

This Court heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.

¶24

On perusal of the same, it is seen that there are some prima facie materials available to constitute the offence as against the petitioner and veracity of the statement recorded during the investigation and documents collected cannot be tested before this Court and therefore it needs elaborate trial and there is no merits in the petition and it is liable to be dismissed.

¶25

At this juncture the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that personal appearance of the petitioner before the trial Court may be dispensed with.

¶26

Considering the nature of the case and also the facts and circumstances of the case it is appropriate to accept the request of the petitioner. Accordingly the personal appearance of the petitioner before
