P. C. since the charge sheet by the civil police had been submitted in the court below and 'in C J. M. thereafter had taken cognizance of the matter- After the writ petition was converted into an application under Section 482, Cr. P. C. on 15-11-8 J this petition is entertained.

However, Sri Zaidi raised a preliminary objection that the relief sought in this application could be granted only in a petition under Article 220 of the Constitution as the relict would be resulting in some interference in the matter of investigation of the case and not in this application under Secuoa 48:, Cr. P. C, Since this point has been concluded by the order dated 8-11-89, mentioned, above, no finding is needed on that point in this order. For the disposal of this cage all that is necessary to be stated is that an FIR nominating the applicaat also was lodged by Mahfooj on 26-5-89 alleging Chat the applicant alongwith two other persons hid cought hold of his son Kaley and had eominutad his murder.
