Summary
The petitioner filed a petition under Article 227 seeking to set aside an order dated 25-02-2026 passed by the Principal Judge of the Family Court, Banda, in Criminal Miscellaneous Case No. 409/XI/2023, and to stay the recovery proceedings in that case. The petition also sought liberty to file a stay application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code. During the hearing, the petitioner’s counsel requested permission to withdraw the petition and instead pursue a stay application under Section 482. The High Court allowed the withdrawal, dismissed the petition as withdrawn, and granted liberty to file the separate stay application. No substantive merits of the original petition were considered. The certified copy of the petition, if any, was to be returned to counsel after a photocopy was retained.
