The court, after hearing counsel for all parties, permitted the withdrawal and allowed the petitioner to raise all grounds at the charge‑framing stage. The court referenced the Supreme Court decision in Kanchan Kumar v. State of Bihar (2022) 9 SCC 577 for guidance. Consequently, the interim order dated 05‑10‑2015 was vacated. The order was to be communicated to the District Magistrate, Munger, to enable further proceedings.
