Outcome

Leave granted to withdraw the revision; Criminal Revision No. 179 of 2022 dismissed as withdrawn, without any comment on maintainability.

Issue for consideration

Whether Criminal Revision No. 179 of 2022 is maintainable, on counsel's contention that, in view of the Children Court, Seraikella (Kharsawan)'s report dated 23.04.2024 and the trial of the case by that Court (received from the Juvenile Justice Board, Seraikella on 10.05.2022), Section 101(5) of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 renders the revision non-maintainable.

¶9

Ratio / Principle

This Court granted leave for withdrawal of the revision and, expressly without commenting on the maintainability of the revision, dismissed Criminal Revision No. 179 of 2022 as withdrawn.

¶14

Key takeaways

Since all the charge-sheeted witnesses (eight in number, the last being the I.O. examined on 15th April, 2024) have been examined before the Children Court, Seraikella (Kharsawan), the Court expressed the expectation that the Children Court dispose of the matter as expeditiously as possible.obiter¶13
