MANOJ ATMARAJ PATIL AND ANRversusRAJENDRASING S/O. JAISING PATIL AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The petition is disposed of as withdrawn, with liberty to initiate appropriate proceedings under Section 156(3) of the Criminal Procedure Code.

Summary

The petitioners, Rajendrasing and another, filed a criminal writ petition in the Bombay High Court seeking relief. They later applied to withdraw the petition and requested liberty to initiate appropriate proceedings before the concerned magistrate under Section 156(3) of the Criminal Procedure Code. The Court considered the request and allowed the withdrawal, granting the petitioners the liberty they sought. Consequently, the main petition was disposed of as withdrawn, and the pending criminal application No. 941 of 2020 was also disposed of. No substantive merits of the original petition were adjudicated.

Issues considered

Whether a criminal writ petition may be withdrawn at the petitioners' request
Whether the petitioners may be granted liberty to initiate proceedings under Section 156(3) of the Cr.P.C. after withdrawal
