Disposal: 40-WITHDRAWN @ FH
Bench: P M RAVAL

Holding

The court granted permission to withdraw the revision application and discharged the notice.

Summary

The applicants, Nikita Chaitanyaprasad Rana and another, filed a criminal revision application seeking maintenance. Subsequently they filed a consent divorce petition before the Family Court. They applied to withdraw the revision application, arguing that the divorce petition rendered the maintenance claim moot. The court considered whether permission could be granted to withdraw the pending revision. Finding no legal impediment, the court allowed the withdrawal and discharged the notice. The application was therefore disposed of as withdrawn.

Issues considered
