Decided: 7 September 2026
Bench: MADAN PAL SINGH

Holding

The application under Section 482 was dismissed as not pressed.

Summary

The applicants filed an application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking relief, but their counsel later informed the court that the application should not be pursued due to factual defects in the compromise. The counsel requested that the application be dismissed as not pressed, with liberty to file a fresh application later. The court accepted this request and dismissed the application as not pressed. The order was passed in the presence of the learned Additional Government Advocate for the State. No substantive merits of the original application were considered. The dismissal was procedural, based solely on the applicants’ decision not to press the matter.
