On the basis of which, Crl.Misc.No.301/2024 is filed against the petitioners. 4. Though the petitioners herein seek to urge various contentions in support of their defence, a careful perusal of the various averments made in the aforesaid petition filed by the respondent would indicate that there are several contentious issues and disputed questions of law between the parties, which would necessarily have to be decided by the trial court only after full- fledged trial.
