Getting rid of those qtl-B is an iterative process. However, I do not understand some of your
"reactions":

> "After getting rid of atom2 l=1 ghost band, I got atom1 l=1 ghost band .After getting rid of atom1 l=1 ghost band, I got atom2 l=0 ghost band. After getting rid of atom2
> l=0 ghost band, I got atom2 l~1 ghost band...".

No, this does not make sense.

You got a qtl-b on atom 1, l=1.  So you need to modify atoms 1, l=1 Energyparameter,
not atoms 2, l=0   ?????? !!!!!!

Always modify the energy parameters of the atom and l, where qtl-bs occur.
And small values like 2.x for states at high energy are probably ok !!!!

Why case.in1_st ??? It must be case.in1 !!!!
