Holding

The court held that it may permit the withdrawal of the application, disposing it as withdrawn without expressing any view on the merits.

Summary

The petitioners filed an application in the High Court of Patna seeking relief in a criminal miscellaneous matter. After hearing arguments, the petitioners' counsel requested permission to withdraw the application so that all points, including those raised in the present application, could be raised at a later appropriate stage. The sole issue before the court was whether it could allow the withdrawal of the application at this juncture. The court, after considering the request, granted permission for withdrawal, emphasizing that no opinion was being expressed on the merits of the underlying case. Consequently, the application was disposed of as withdrawn, with liberty to raise the matters later.
