Allahabad High Court
TANUJ VERMA @TANUSH @ SHAKTIversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 3 OTHERS
- Decided
Holding
The petition is dismissed as withdrawn.
Summary
The petitioners, Tanuj Verma and Shakti, filed a criminal miscellaneous writ petition before the Allahabad High Court challenging an action of the State of Uttar Pradesh. During the hearing, the petitioner's counsel informed the court that the petitioner had already been arrested and therefore no longer wished to pursue the writ. The respondent’s Additional Government Advocate (AGA) raised no objection to the petitioner's request to withdraw the petition. The court considered whether a writ petition could be withdrawn after the petitioner’s arrest. Finding no impediment and with the respondent’s consent, the court dismissed the petition as withdrawn. The order effectively closed the proceedings without addressing the merits of the original claim.
