Holding

The Court dismissed the application as withdrawn, granting permission for withdrawal on the ground of infructuity.

Summary

The petitioner, Rohit Kumar, filed an application before the Patna High Court seeking withdrawal of the criminal proceedings against him, alleging that the application had become infructuous. The respondent State of Bihar and co-accused Gunja Kumari opposed the withdrawal. The petitioner was represented by counsel Ms. Mili Kumari, while the opposite parties were represented by Mr. Narsingh Tanti, an advocate-on-record. The Court examined whether the application could be permitted to be withdrawn on the ground of being infructuous. Finding no substantive impediment, the Court granted permission for withdrawal. Consequently, the application was dismissed as withdrawn, effectively terminating the pending criminal matter.
