Patna High Court

Idris Ansari @ Imran Ansari @ Md. IdrisversusThe State of Bihar

Decided: 3 February 2026
Disposal: WITHDRAWN
Bench: SANDEEP KUMAR

Holding

The application is dismissed as withdrawn because it has become infructuous following the framing of charges.

Summary

The petitioner, Idris Ansari, filed an application before the Patna High Court seeking relief. While the proceedings were pending, the charges against him were framed by the trial court. The petitioner’s counsel subsequently moved to withdraw the application, arguing that it had become infructuous. The court examined the request and noted that once charges are framed, the pending application loses its purpose. Accordingly, the court dismissed the application as withdrawn, holding that it was no longer maintainable.
