Decided: 8 April 2026
Disposal: WITHDRAWN
Bench: ALOK KUMAR SINHA

Holding

The court dismissed the case as withdrawn, holding that the arrest rendered the proceedings infructuous.

Summary

The petitioner, Magan Yadav, was arrested in connection with a criminal miscellaneous case (No.21065 of 2026) arising from PS case No.-18, Year-2026, Nawalpur, West Champaran. Counsel for the petitioner argued that the arrest rendered the proceedings infructuous and therefore sought a withdrawal of the case. The State of Bihar opposed the petition. The Hon'ble Justice Alok Kumar Sinha considered the petitioner's submission that the case had become infructuous due to the arrest. Finding no impediment to the withdrawal, the court dismissed the case as withdrawn. The order effectively closed the criminal proceedings against the petitioner.
