3. In an earlier round of litigation, the petitioners had challenged the order dated 06.05.2016 taking cognizance in the said complaint case and had also sought quashing of the proceedings. However, the said challenge came to be dismissed vide judgment and order dated 30.05.2017.
4. Mr. Tara, learned Senior Counsel appearing for the petitioners, after advancing some arguments, submits that liberty may be granted to withdraw the present petition and to explore the remedy of challenging the order dated 19.02.2020 by way of a revision petition. It is further submitted that the question of jurisdiction can be raised at any stage in accordance with law.
5. Mr. Ete, learned Additional Public Prosecutor, points out the earlier round of litigation and submits that this Court may not be in a position to re-examine the issue relating to quashing of the complaint proceedings once again.
