Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that this Cr.M.P. has been filed with a prayer to quash the order taking cognizance dated 27.06.2023 passed by the Special Judge, Electricity Act Cases, Chaibasa on the ground that the fine amount and an excess amount thereof to the tune of Rs.2 Lakhs has been deposited by the petitioner. Learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 submits that since the case was instituted before deposit of any fine amount by the petitioner and the charge sheet was also submitted before the deposit of entire amount, the procedure is that, if the petitioner deposits the fine amount in terms of Section 152(1) of the Electricity Act, 2003, then with the leave of the Court, the offence can be compounded. At this stage, the learned counsel for the petitioner seeks permission of this Court to withdraw this Criminal Miscellaneous Petition with a liberty to approach to the appropriate authority of the JUVNL for composition of the offences with the leave of the Court. Permission is accorded. This Criminal Miscellaneous Petition stands dismissed as withdrawn with the aforesaid liberty. (Anil Kumar Choudhary, J.) Abhiraj/
