Called upon to explain how a petition under the Domestic Violence Act is maintainable by itself before the Family Court, the learned counsel for the appellant submits that it is unnecessary to go into that question in detail as the appellant has already initiated other proceedings before the civil court to enforce her rights in respect of the property in question. Counsel prays that in these circumstances this appeal may be dismissed as withdrawn. Request accepted. This appeal is dismissed as withdrawn. R. BASANT, JUDGE M.C. HARI RANI,JUDGE ks. WPC. 2 ks.
