Holding
The application is dismissed as not pressed, with liberty granted to the applicant to file an appropriate application before a competent jurisdiction.
Summary
The applicant, Dvarika Jaiswal, filed an application under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita seeking to quash the criminal proceedings in Case No. 2619 of 2017, which were instituted under Section 461 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 25 of the Indian Telegraph Act. The application was presented before the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, with counsel Hitesh Kumar Srivastava representing the applicant and G.A. representing the State. During the hearing, the applicant's counsel indicated that he no longer wished to pursue the present application and instead sought liberty to file a suitable application before a competent court at a later stage. The court considered the procedural posture and the applicant's request for liberty. Consequently, the court dismissed the application on the ground that it was not pressed, while granting the applicant liberty to file an appropriate application in the future.
Issues considered
- Whether an application under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita can be dismissed when the applicant chooses not to press it and seeks liberty to file a different application later
