Quick Summary: Two criminal petitions were withdrawn in a case from Shadnagar, with plans to file new ones. The court didn't decide on the details of the case but allowed the petitioners to try again.

The Case Background

This story involves two criminal petitions, numbered 182 and 183 of 2021, which were filed to cancel orders from the Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class in Shadnagar. These orders were related to FIR No.958 of 2020, dated January 11, 2021.

Petitioners Want a Do-Over

The petitioners, Rajesh Kumar and Priya Sharma, asked for permission to change their original request to overturn the magistrate's orders. They claimed they weren't aware of the detailed orders since they weren't involved in the trial court.

"Rajesh Kumar and Priya Sharma are not aware about passing of the detailed orders," they argued.

Respondents Push Back

On the other side, the respondents, represented by Anil Verma and Sunita Rao, argued that Rajesh Kumar and Priya Sharma had no right to file these petitions. They said the petitioners were outsiders and had no real interest in the case.

"Rajesh Kumar and Priya Sharma are not having any right or interest," Anil Verma and Sunita Rao insisted.

Court's Decision

Justice J. Sreenivas Rao decided not to comment on the details of the case. Instead, he dismissed the petitions as withdrawn, allowing Rajesh Kumar and Priya Sharma the opportunity to file new ones. Anil Verma and Sunita Rao were also given the right to raise any legal arguments when the new petitions are filed.

"The criminal petitions are dismissed as withdrawn," the court ruled.

What's Next?

Rajesh Kumar and Priya Sharma can now file new petitions, and both parties are preparing for the next round in this legal story. The court's decision allows for more legal actions in the future.
