High Court for the State of Telangana at Hyderabad (Justice J. Sreenivas Rao), Criminal Petition No.797 of 2026, decided 03.02.2026: Petitioners/Accused Nos.1 and 2 in C.C.No.1503 of 2025 (file of the XII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Nampally at Hyderabad) filed a petition under Section 528 of BNSS seeking quash of the proceedings, with ancillary applications seeking permission to compound the offence, stay of further proceedings, recording of a compromise statement with quash, and representation through a GPA holder. At the hearing, the petitioners' counsel (Sri Shaik Shareef, represented by Mr. B. Aravind Reddy) sought permission to withdraw the criminal petition with liberty to avail the remedies available under law; the Learned Public Prosecutor (Mr. Palle Nageshwar Rao) for Respondent No.1 State raised no objection; none appeared for Respondent No.2, the de facto complainant. The Court dismissed the Criminal Petition as withdrawn, granting the liberty sought, and closed the miscellaneous applications pending, if any. The merits of the quash claim were not adjudicated.
