Judgment Details: Issue 1: SLP(Crl) Nos. 7396/2023 and 7384/2023 [2023 (6) TMI 503 - DELHI HIGH COURT] The Supreme Court noted that the respondents may file their objections to the petitions, even though the learned ASG argued against the impugned order's justification. The proceedings before the High Court were scheduled for consideration on 05.07.2023, allowing parties to present their contentions. The Court refrained from expressing an opinion on the Order dated 09.06.2023 at this juncture. It was clarified that if the High Court proceeds with the matter, it should do so on its own merits and in accordance with the law, independent of any previous observations. The Court listed the petitions for further consideration after two weeks to enable respondents to file objections, emphasizing that the pendency of these petitions should not hinder the High Court's proceedings. Issue 2: SLP(Crl) Nos. 7443/2023 and 7444/2023 [2023 (6) TMI 1315 - DELHI HIGH COURT] The petitioners challenged an order dated 16.06.2023 where the High Court of Delhi prima facie determined that it lacked jurisdiction to entertain the petition, deeming it not maintainable. Despite the petitioners' argument that they were arrested in Delhi, the High Court held that since the Trial Court in Panchkula had already issued a remand order, the petition was not maintainable in Delhi. The petitioners, in the interest of their clients, sought to withdraw the petitions and approach the High Court of Punjab and Haryana with a fresh petition, preserving all contentions made before the Delhi High Court. The petitions were disposed of as withdrawn with liberty to approach the High Court of Punjab and Haryana. The High Court of Punjab and Haryana was advised to consider hearing the petitioners expeditiously, given their previous approach to another High Court. All contentions from both parties were left open to be argued before the High Court of Punjab and Haryana. Separate Judgment: The Writ Petitions bearing W.P. (Crl.) 1770/2023 and W.P.(Crl.) No. 1771/2023 pending before the High Court were deemed infructuous due to the disposal of the instant petitions, which the High Court was requested to acknowledge.
