Learned A.G.A. representing State-opposite party-1 has no objection to the prayer made by the learned counsel for applicant. 6. 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 that no useful purpose shall be served in keeping this application pending. 7. Accordingly this application is disposed off finally with liberty to the applicant to approach Court below by moving a discharge application in terms of Section 250 BNS seeking his discharge in above mentioned criminal 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, the Court concerned shall decide the same by a reasoned and speaking order in the light of the observations made by Apex Court in Sanjay Kumar Rai Vs. State of Uttar Pradesh and Another (2022) 15 SCC 720 within a period of two months thereafter, provided there is no other legal impediment. 8. It goes without saying that till the disposal of discharge application as directed above, Court below shall not proceed further against applicant.
