When the matter was taken up for hearing today, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for respondents 1 to 3 submitted that the petitioner had earlier filed a petition in W.P.(Crl.) No.1087 of 2025 with a similar prayer against the same respondents before a Co-ordinate Bench. When the said matter came up on 15.10.2025, the petitioner (Partyin-Person), after arguing for sometime, withdrew the petition and hence, the Co-ordinate Bench dismissed the same as withdrawn. Now, the petitioner has again approached this Court with the very same prayer. 3/5
