only a trial court has power to discharge under section 239 crpc and since the section itself is self explanatorty , a citation judgment is not at all necessary.

The accused can file a petition for discharge before the trial court u/s.239, before the framing of charges. After the framing of charges in a police complaint, accused cannot be discharged. But, the CC can be quashed by the HC u/s 482.
