Present:

Mr. C.S. Jattana, Advocate for the petitioners.

Mr. Sandeep Kumar, DAG, Punjab.

HARPREET SINGH BRAR J. (Oral) The instant revision petition has been preferred against the order dated 29.07.2024 (wrongly mentioned as 07.11.2023), passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge, Fatehgarh Sahib, in FIR No.70 dated 11.08.2023, registered under Sections 306, 506 IPC at Police Station Badali Ala Singh, District Fatehgarh Sahib (Annexure P-1), vide which charges under Sections 306 and 506 IPC have been framed against the petitioners.

Learned counsel for the petitioners wishes to withdraw the present revision petition with liberty to raise all the pleas taken in the present revision petition. However, he confines his prayer to the extent of seeking exemption of petitioner No.1 from personal appearance before the learned trial Court as she is a household lady and mother of two children, therefore, attending trial on each and every date is causing great hardship and inconvenience to her.
