Holding
The bail application was dismissed as withdrawn because the petitioner had already been released following the grant of the habeas corpus petition.
Summary
Shubham Maheshwari filed a criminal miscellaneous bail application before the Allahabad High Court. While the bail application was pending, he filed Habeas Corpus Writ Petition No. 412 of 2026, which the Court allowed, resulting in his release from custody. The applicant’s counsel then moved that the bail application had become infructuous and sought its withdrawal. The respondent’s counsel raised no objection to the withdrawal. The Court allowed the withdrawal application and dismissed the bail application as withdrawn.
