Stating that without consent of the petitioner who is the complainant in C. R.

Without reflecting on merits of the matter, Writ Petition No. 43 of 2026 is dismissed as withdrawn with liberty as prayed for on behalf of the petitioner. All contentions are left open. [GAUTAM A. ANKHAD, J.] [CHIEF JUSTICE]
