At the very outset, the learned A.G.A. has raised a preliminary objection regarding maintainability of this application. Learned A.G.A. submits that since applicant has not yet been summoned by Court below, therefore, by virtue of the law laid down by full Bench of this Court in Father Thomas Vs. State of U.P. & Anr. 2010 SCC Online All 2710, wherein, it has been held that an accused has no right to be head till he has been summoned, present application is misconceived and therefore, liable to be dismissed. 5. When confronted with above, the learned counsel for applicant fairly submits that present application be dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to file a fresh at appropriate stage. 6. Learned A.G.A. for State-opposite party-1 has no objection to the prayer made by the learned counsel for applicant. 7. In view of above, the present application is, accordingly, dismissed as withdrawn, with liberty aforesaid. 8. Interim order, if any, stands vacated. 9. Certified copies of the documents appended alongwith this application shall be returned to the learned counsel for applicant after obtaining photocopies of the same to be kept on record.
