3. Aggrieved by the order, the petitioner instituted a criminal revision petition (Annexure P-5) which came up for hearing before the Court of Sessions Judge, Nuh, on 05.02.2025. Vide the said order (Annexure P-6), operation of the order dated 18.12.2024 was stayed.
4. By way of the impugned order dated 15.04.2026, the said stay granted vide order dated 05.02.2025 was vacated leading to the filing of the present petition.
5. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that no reasoning whatsoever was given by the Revisional Court while vacating the stay. He further submits that arguments shall be addressed on 13.07.2026, i.e. the date fixed before the Court and prays that till then, the interim order dated 05.02.2025 may be ordered to be continued.
6. Per contra, learned State counsel has opposed the prayer made by learned counsel for the petitioner.
7. Having considered the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, this Court is of the considered opinion that though, the learned Sessions Judge, Nuh, did not commit any illegality by vacating the stay, the order should have given the reasons for doing so. In any case, learned counsel for the petitioner has undertaken that arguments shall be addressed on 13.07.2026, i.e. the date already fixed in Court or any other date as per the convenience of the learned Sessions Judge, Nuh, in case, for some reason, arguments cannot be heard on 13.07.2026.
