Holding
The court may grant permission to withdraw a criminal revision application when the parties have settled out of court, without addressing the merits of the case.
Summary
The applicant, Bhavesh Manjibhai Andhan, filed a criminal revision application seeking maintenance. The applicant later approached the court requesting permission to withdraw the application, stating that the parties had reached an out‑of‑court settlement. The respondent counsel opposed the withdrawal. The court examined the request and, noting the settlement, granted permission to withdraw the application. It clarified that it had not considered the merits of the case and ordered that any interim relief granted earlier stand vacated. Consequently, the revision application was disposed of as withdrawn.
