Referring to the Full Bench judgement of this Court in Father Thomas Vs. State of U.P. and Others, 2010 SCC Online All 2438, learned A.G.A. submits that an accused has no right to be heard till he has been summoned. He,
therefore submits that in view of aforementioned facts present application is misconceived and is liable to be dismissed. When confronted with above, the learned counsel for applicant submits that present application be dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to file a fresh with better particulars and details. Learned A.G.A. has no objection to the prayer made by the learned counsel for applicant. In view of above, application is accordingly dismissed as withdrawn with liberty aforesaid. Certified copies of the documents appended along with this application shall be returned to the learned counsel for applicant after obtaining photo copies of the same to be kept on record.
