No doubt, they can be ultimately inadmissible, but there is other material on record like telephonic conversation, etc. 6) Considering the serious nature of offence alleged to have been committed by the petitioners, it is not at all desirable to interfere in such kind of cases under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash proceedings against them and the criminal petitions are liable to be dismissed and the same are accordingly dismissed. 7) The contention of the petitioners is that in spite of there being no material against them, they are being harassed by the investigating agency, for that no remedy can be granted in this petition.
