Holding
The petition was dismissed as there was nothing left to adjudicate after the petitioner’s acquittal.
Summary
Petitioner Khamrunisa Begum Shaikh Hasan filed a criminal writ petition seeking release on furlough leave. The High Court noted that it had already acquitted her of the alleged offence by a judgment dated 15 September 2026. Since the acquittal removed the basis for her continued detention, the petition no longer had any surviving cause of action. Consequently, the court disposed of the writ petition. No further relief was granted.
