Holding
The writ petition was dismissed as not pressed.
Summary
The petitioners filed a criminal miscellaneous writ petition seeking relief, but their counsel informed the court that a charge sheet had already been filed in the underlying case and therefore they did not wish to pursue the writ further. The court accepted this position and dismissed the writ petition as not pressed. The court directed that the case record be placed before the appropriate court on 21 May 2026 along with a mediation centre report to determine whether the amount deposited by the petitioner had been withdrawn by the opposite party. No substantive merits of the underlying criminal case were addressed. The dismissal was procedural, based solely on the petitioners' request to withdraw the writ.
