Decided
Disposal
Allowed To be withdrawn

Holding

The Court permitted the petitioner to withdraw the writ petition with liberty to raise all points in a bail application.

Summary

The petitioner, Jayda Umar Qureshi, filed a criminal writ petition seeking relief. The petitioner later approached the High Court requesting permission to withdraw the petition and to raise all the points raised therein in a bail application before the appropriate court. The learned counsel for the petitioner sought liberty to pursue the same arguments in the bail proceedings. The Court examined the request and, without commenting on the merits of the underlying issues, granted permission to withdraw the writ petition. It expressly allowed the petitioner to raise all points in the forthcoming bail application. Consequently, the petition was withdrawn and disposed of.
