Decided: 31 January 2026
Disposal: WITHDRAWN
Bench: SANDEEP KUMAR

Holding

The court held that the application may be withdrawn following the petitioner’s acquittal and dismissed it as withdrawn.

Summary

The petitioner, Md. Sajid Ansari, was involved in a criminal proceeding (Criminal Miscellaneous No.84284 of 2025) before the Patna High Court. During the pendency of the case, an application was filed before the court, the nature of which is not specified in the record. The petitioner subsequently informed the court that he had been acquitted of the charges and therefore sought permission to withdraw the pending application. The learned counsel for the petitioner requested that the court allow the withdrawal, arguing that the acquittal rendered the application moot. Justice Sandeep Kumar, after hearing both sides, granted the petitioner's request and dismissed the application as withdrawn.
