impugned order.

Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the 
applicant   and   the   learned   A.G.A.   and   from   the   perusal   of   the 
application under section 156(3) Cr.P.C., it appears that on the basis 
of the allegation made therein a prima facie cognizable offence is 
made out and the allegations are of such a nature which requires 
investigation, the impugned order is not suffering from any illegality or 
irregularity, therefore, the prayer for quashing the impugned order is 
refused.

It is further contended that the applicant is man of peace loving. He 
shall   cooperate   with   the   investigation.   In   case,   the   applicant   is 
arrested and sent to jail during investigation, the applicant shall suffer 
irreparable loss. Therefore, the applicant may not be arrested during 
investigation.

Considering   the   facts,   circumstances   of   the   case   and   the 
submissions made by the learned counsel for the applicant and the
