The court allowed withdrawal of a case while permitting future applications for discharge by the petitioner.

ORDER

The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, after arguing for some time, seeks liberty to withdraw this Criminal Miscellaneous Case, but by reserving the right of the petitioner to file an application for discharge before the jurisdictional court. I find the above submission to be reasonable and justifiable.

In the aforesaid circumstances, I dismiss the Crl.M.C as withdrawn, but by reserving the right of the petitioner to raise all his contentions before the jurisdictional Court, including filing an application for discharge, provided charges have not been framed till date. If such an application is filed, the Trial Court is directed to consider and dispose of the application for discharge in accordance with law.
