By way of this writ petition, the petitioner has primarily prayed for the following relief:- “It is, therefore, most respectfully prayed that this writ petition may very kindly be allowed and writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction as this Hon'ble Court deems just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case may very kindly be issued to the respondents to the following effect: a) That Impugned order dated 19.05.2025 may kindly be set aside. 1 Whether reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2 b) That compensation to the tune of loss occurred during the illegal closer of the shop may be awarded to the petitioner.” 3. The impugned order, i.e. order dated 19.05.2025, has been passed by the Sub Divisional Magistrate, Jawalamukhi Sub Division, District Kangra, Himachal Pradesh, in exercise of powers conferred upon it under Section 163 of the Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. In light of this fact, this Court is of the considered view that as the order, which stands assailed by way of this petition, has been issued under Section 163 of the Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, this writ petition is not maintainable as the petitioner has the remedies in terms of the provisions of the Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. 4. Faced with this situation, learned Counsel for the petitioner prays for and is permitted to withdraw this petition, with liberty to file a fresh petition on the same cause under the relevant provisions of the Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. Pending miscellaneous application(s), if any, also stand disposed of accordingly. (Ajay Mohan Goel) Judge June 05, 2025 (narender)
