JUSTICE M. R. MENGDEY Date : 27/01/2026 ORAL ORDER 1. The matter was on board before this Court on 13.01.2026. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner had sought permission of this Court to convert the present petition into a Criminal Misc. Application under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 as pending the application, the cognizance of the offence had already been taken. This Court had therefore dictated the order permitting the petitioner to convert the present petition into a Criminal Misc. Application under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. However, the concerned P.P.S. has transcribed the order allowing the present petition and quashing the FIR in question and had put up the order for signature, which was duly signed. 2. In view of the judgment of the Hon’ble Apex Court in case of Rambali Sahni V/s State of Bihar passed in Criminal Appeal No.105 of 2026 @ Special Leave Petition (Criminal) No.357 of 2026 @ Diary No.72999/2025, it would not be proper for this Court to recall order dated 13.01.2026. However, this order shall p. 2 be placed before the Registrar General for taking appropriate action against the P.P.S. in question. 3. Accordingly, the note is disposed of. (M. R. MENGDEY,J) AHS
