On perusal of the impugned charge sheet and the materials in support of the same, this Court does not find it to be a case which can be determined or gone into in an application under Section 482 Cr.P.C.

Saraful Haq and another (Para-10) 2005 SCC (Cr.) 283.
Accordingly, the prayer for quashing the charge sheet is refused.
However, considering the facts and circumstances of the case, it is provided that if the applicants appear and surrender before the court below within 45 days from today and apply for bail, their prayer for bail shall be considered and decided in view of the settled law laid by this Court in the case of Amrawati and another Vs.

For a period of 45 days from today or till the applicants surrender whichever is earlier, no coercive action shall be taken against the applicants. However, in case, the applicants do not appear before the court below within the aforesaid period, coercive action shall be taken against them.
With the aforesaid directions, the application is finally disposed of.
