There is no bar. but the remedies may differ i.e. whether to file revision or writ or other proceeding? HC is reluctant to entertain petition for quashing directly. It will ask whether other remedies are available if yes why those were not exhausted. So, depending upon the facts of the case you have to find out which remedy should be adopted.

I agree with ld. friends but how it is possdible that the charge sheet is submitted at the time of first appearence of the accused ? wheather by using the "CHARGE SHEET" he actually means " the Copy of the case record"?

Sirs, unless and until , charge sheet is received in open court , no chance for quashing , as there is no entry in receipt of the same in court or committal court
