None appears for the Petitioner when the matter is called. 2. This CRLMP has been filed for quashing the proceeding in Chandrasekharpur PS Case No.68 of 2022. 3. Mr. A.K. Apat, learned Additional Government Advocate submits that this case was filed on 26.04.2022 but charge-sheet in the case has been submitted on 28.04.2022. 4. This matter had been listed on 02.05.2022, 13.05.2022, 28.02.2024, 31.08.2024 and 27.09.2024. On 13.05.2022 the Petitioner had been granted liberty to file documents before the Investigating Officer to prove his innocence in the meantime. But since it is stated by Mr. A.K. Apat, learned Additional Government Advocate that charge-sheet has been submitted on 28.04.2022 and the matter is pending since 2022, no useful purpose will be served by adjourning the matter. 5. Hence, the CRLMC is disposed of granting liberty to the Petitioner to challenge the charge-sheet, provided charge has not been framed and trial has not begun in the meanwhile.
