P.C, 1973”) which were later withdrawn, the Hon’ble bench held that “The petitioner if so advised, can always file appropriate applications under the section 482 of Cr. P.C, 1973 seeking quashing of the individual criminal cases or complaints.”
Moreover, At this point Hon’ble bench pointed to the Judgement of the Hon’ble supreme court in “Superintendent and Remembrancer of Legal Affairs, West Bengal versus. Mohan Singh & Ors.” reported in SCC (1975) 3 706 in which it is held by Hon’ble court that “is clear that dismissal of an earlier 482 petition does not bar the filing of a subsequent petition under Section 482 of Cr. P.C, 1973, in case the facts so justify.”
Lastly, it is held that ” Needless to say that as and when any appropriate application under the Cr. P.C, 1973 is preferred by the petitioner, the same shall be dealt with purely on its own merits without being influenced by the dismissal of the instant writ petition.”
