Before framing of charge you can not file such petition. You have to first face framing of charge and then to file discharge petition.
If he is still absconding then apply for bail.

first of all apply for bail and after that at the time of framing charge can file the discharge application before trial court and argue on that application if court reject the discharge petition and frame charge then file a revision before revisional court within 90 days from framing the charge.
feel free to call

I somehow differ from Barman sir. When the notice have been issued and the accused persons appear before court at the time of framing of charge then you should file discharge petition. If your Discharge petition is rejected by the court then go for quashing of case in HC on ground of charge. You can file quash petition in HC against cognizance. If the accused is still absconder then file bail.

Yes, there was lapse of understanding on my part.
Discharge petition is to be filed before framing of charge.

First get the bail and afterwards as advised by the expert Rajeev Kumar.

I agree with the expert opinion of Mr. Rajeev Kumar on the subject issue. The accused, after receiving notice about the case, is to file the discharge petition during the first appearance itself, i.e., before the charges are framed. If the said petition is dismissed, he has choice for revision or filing quash petition before the high court.

Obtain regular bail and move for discharge from the allegations in complaint/charge(s)levelled by police and notice to be issued by Court.
