When the matter was taken up for hearing today, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners sought permission of this Court to withdraw this petition and also made an endorsement to that effect. He further submitted that the second petitioner, who has no role in the alleged offences, is a septuagenarian and therefore, sought the indulgence of this Court, to dispense with his personal appearance before the trial Court. In view of the submission and the endorsement made by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed as withdrawn. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petitions are closed. However, acceding to the request of the learned counsel for the petitioners, the personal appearance of the second petitioner before the trial Court is dispensed with, except for receipt of copies, answering the charges, questioning under Section 313 Cr.P.C., passing of judgment, or any other date as may be required by the trial Court. The second petitioner shall be duly represented by his counsel before the trial Court.
