Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submit that during the pendency of the present petitions, at the time of final report, certain new Sections have been added in the present case. They thus pray for withdrawal of the present petitions so as to file fresh petitions on the same cause of action with better particulars.

4.

In view of the above, the present petitions are disposed of as withdrawn with liberty as aforesaid.

5.

Since the main petitions already stand disposed of, CRM-85732026 in CRM-M-4110-2026 seeking staying of further proceedings arising from present FIR as well as the cross case, has been rendered infrcutous and is disposed of as such.

6.

Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of. (VINOD S. BHARDWAJ) 05.05.2026 JUDGE Sumit Gusain Whether speaking/reasoned :
