CWP 9991/2020 law settled by various judgments passed by different High Courts. In our view the impugned order dated 24.4.2020 passed by JMFC, Gurugram is a revisable order under Section 397 Cr.PC whereas the other claims provide a separate cause of action, if any. At the time of hearing counsel for the petitioner prays for permission to withdraw the instant petition so as to enable his client to file a fresh writ petition, if so advised, to seek his remedy in accordance with law.

Dismissed as withdrawn with liberty aforesaid. It is clarified that withdrawal of the present writ petition would not cause any hindrance in filing a fresh writ petition with better particulars showing proper cause of action. (Jaswant Singh) Judge 16.07.2020.
