Decided

Holding

Summary

The application listed the offences under various sections of the Indian Penal Code. After hearing, the applicant’s counsel indicated that the application would not be pressed further. The court therefore dismissed the application on the ground that it was not pressed. The certified copy of the documents was to be returned to the applicant’s counsel after retaining a xerox copy.
