Holding
The petition under Section 482 CrPC is disposed as the petitioners wish to withdraw it and the State has no objection.
Summary
The petitioners, Vikas Kumar and Anita Devi, filed a petition under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to quash an order dated 30‑01‑2018 passed by the Special Judge, Vigilance, North Bihar, which had taken cognizance of offences under Sections 13(2) read with 13(1)(e) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 and Sections 109 and 120(b) of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioners later expressed a desire to withdraw the petition, stating they no longer wished to pursue it. The State of Bihar, represented by its Additional Public Prosecutor, raised no objection to the withdrawal. The Court, after hearing both sides, accepted the parties’ consent and disposed of the petition. Consequently, the order of the Special Judge remains undisturbed and the criminal proceedings continue as per the original order.
