Nilesh and others) arising out of Case Crime No. 0345 of 2019 under Sections 324, 323, 504, 506 I.P.C.

The contention of counsel for the applicants is that no offence against the applicants is disclosed and the present case has been instituted with a malafide intention for the purposes of harassment. He has also pointed out certain documents in support of his contention.
From the perusal of the material on record and looking into the facts of the case, at this stage it cannot be said that no offence is made out against the applicants. All the submissions made at the bar relate to the disputed questions of fact, which cannot be adjudicated upon by this Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C.

Saraful Haq and another, (Para-10) 2005 SCC (Cri.) 283, the prayer for quashing of charge sheet, cognizance order as well as entire proceedings of aforesaid case is refused.
After arguing the case for quite some time at length, learned counsel for the applicants himself has given up to address the Court on merits of the case and prayed, that the purpose of his client would suffice, if a direction may be given to the courts below to decide the bail application within specific time frame. However, it is directed, that in case applicants appear and surrender before the court below within 30 days from today and apply for bail, the court below shall consider and decide the bail prayer of applicants expeditiously in accordance with law.
For the period of 30 days or till disposal of bail application, whichever is earlier, no coercive action shall be taken against the applicants.
With the above directions, present application is disposed off.
