1.

The order sheet dated 04.02.2026 reads as under:

"Learned counsel for the petitioner is absent. No representation.

Learned counsel for the respondent submits that the criminal petition is not maintainable as the petitioner is seeking to set aside the judgment passed by the Co-ordinate Bench in Crl.A.No.893/2017. It is noticed that even the office has raised objection regarding maintainability of the petition.

In view of the same, I do not find any reason to keep the petition pending when prima-facie the same is not maintainable.

However, to afford opportunity to the petitioner or his counsel to convince the Court regarding maintainability of the petition and also on merits, list on 06.02.2026.

I.A.No.1 of 2022 seeking interim order of stay is dismissed."
