At the very outset, the learned A.G.A. submits that applicant has rushed to this Court by filing the present application under Section 250(2) BNSS. without availing the statutory remedy available under Section 250(2) BNSS. Learned A.G.A. further submits that Court below can deal with the grounds raised in support of this application threadbare at the first instance as it has the advantage of original record. On the above premise, the learned A.G.A. submits that no interference is warranted by this Court in present application under Section 528 BNSS. 6. When confronted with above, the learned counsel for applicant proceed to argue the matter but subsequently gave up the prayer prayed for by means of present application.

Learned A.G.A. for State-opposite party-1 has no objection to the prayer made by the learned counsel for applicant. 8. Be that as it may, having heard, the learned counsel for applicant, the learned A.G.A. for State-opposite party-1 and upon perusal of record, this Court finds, no useful purpose shall be served in keeping this application pending. 9. Accordingly this application is disposed off finally with liberty to applicant to approach Court below by filing a discharge application in terms of Section 250 BNSS seeking his discharge in above mentioned case. In case, such a discharge application is filed by applicant within a period of two weeks from today along with a certified copy of this order, then Court below shall proceed to decide the same by a reasoned and speaking order within a period of two months thereafter, provided there is no other legal impediment. 10.
