HON'BLE CHANDRA DHARI SINGH, J.
HON'BLE ABDUL SHAHID, J.
1. As per the office report, the physical record of the instant
Criminal Misc. Writ Petition No. 22206 of 2026 has inadvertently
been misplaced in the office. Every effort is being made to trace
the original file. In the meantime, a printed copy of the digitized
record is being placed before the Hon'ble Court.
2. The office is directed to make all possible efforts to trace out the
original record of the instant Criminal Misc. Writ Petition and place
the same on record.
3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, after advancing
arguments for some length, without pressing the petition on merits,
prayed for leave to withdraw the present petition with liberty to avail
such appropriate remedy as may be available to the petitioners
under law, as advised.
4. Learned A.G.A. appearing for the State-respondents and Mr.
Ramesh Kumar, learned counsel appearing for respondent no. 4,
vehemently opposed the petition on merits; however, they did not
object to the innocuous prayer made by learned counsel for the
petitioners for granting leave to withdraw the instant writ petition.

petition is accordingly granted.
6. Without entering into the merits of the case, the instant writ
petition is dismissed as withdrawn with liberty as prayed for.
