The learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that in respect of private dispute, the respondent had registered cases against the petitioners for offences under Sections 448 and 380 of I.P.C r/w. and Section 3 of the Tamilnadu Property (Prevention of Damage and Loss) Act, (TNPPDL Act). After investigation, the Charge sheet was taken on file before the learned Chief Metropolitan Court at Egmore. Thereafter, the petitioners have filed a discharge application before the learned Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Egmore, Chennai, and the https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
discharge application was dismissed on 07.09.2019. Challenging the dismissal of the discharge application, the petitioner had preferred the present Revision before this Court. Upon hearing the revision, this Court had granted stay on 06.11.2019.
3. In the meanwhile, Charges framed against the petitioners for the offences under Section 3 of the TNTPDL Act and 448 of IPC were dropped and altered charge sheet under Section 427 of IPC alone was taken on file. The learned Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Egmore finding that the case for offence under Section 427 of Cr.P.C., was triable only by the Court of Magistrate, had forwarded the same to the learned X Chief Metropolitan Magistrate and the same is pending before the said Magistrate. Now it has been stated that the said case is posted for hearing on 02.02.2022. Hence, the learned counsel for the petitioners seeks permission of this Court to withdraw the present revision with liberty to file an appropriate discharge petition before the concerned Court.
4. Considering the submissions made, permission is granted. This Criminal Revision Case is dismissed as withdrawn, granting liberty to the petitioners to file an appropriate petition before the concerned trial Court. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
