The disputed defence of the accused cannot be considered at this stage. Moreover, the applicant has got a right of discharge under Section 239 or 227/228/245 Cr.P.C., as the case may be, through a proper application for the said purpose and he is free to take all the submissions in the said discharge application before the Trial Court.
After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and after perusing the averments made in the present application, the prayer for quashing the proceedings of the aforementioned case is refused.
However, it is provided that in case, the applicant moves an appropriate application for discharge through counsel before the concerned Court below within a period of one month from today, the same shall be considered and disposed off as expeditiously as possible in accordance with law, by the concerned court below preferably within a period of four months, thereafter. For a period of five months from today or till the disposal of the discharge application, whichever is earlier, no coercive action shall be taken against the applicant in the aforesaid case.
In case no such application is filed within a period of one months from today, as prescribed above, the present order shall stand automatically vacated.
With the aforesaid directions, this application is finally disposed off.
