CRWP-512-2025 The Court, therefore, directes petitioner No.2 to join the company of her father.

At the same time, Karan Singh-petitioner No.1 who is also present in Court states in the presence his counsel Mr. Sagar Sharma, Advocate as well as the State counsel Mr. B.S. Virk, Senior DAG, Haryana, that he rang up the girl i.e. petitioner No.2 namely Riya Ansal on 10.01.2023 to come and join his company at the bus-stand of Yamuna Nagar and took her along upto village Kayal and thereafter went to his parents house, who refused to accept them and rather instructed to handover the girl-petitioner No.2 to her parents. He further states that they kept on wandering on the roads till night and then came to Ambala and since then have been staying there in a rented room near Ambala bus-stand. Thereafter he contacted the Advocate to file the petition on 12.01.2025.

In the light of above, learned counsel for the petitioners does not wish to press the instant petition any further. Accordingly, without going further into the merits of the petition, the same is dismissed as withdrawn. (SANDEEP MOUDGIL) JUDGE 21.01.2025 Sangeeta Whether reasoned/speaking:
