Allahabad High Court
JAYDEEP GUPTA AND ANOTHERversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 2 OTHERS
- Decided
Holding
The petition is dismissed as infructuous because the charge sheet has been filed.
Summary
The petitioners, Jaydeep Gupta and another, filed a criminal miscellaneous writ petition before the Allahabad High Court challenging actions of the State of U.P. and two others. The investigating officer appeared before the court and informed that a charge sheet had already been submitted in the case. The court noted that once a charge sheet is filed, the matter is already under the jurisdiction of the criminal trial court. Consequently, the court held that no further interim relief could be granted through the writ jurisdiction. The petition was therefore dismissed as it had become infructuous. The judgment was delivered by Hon'ble Justices Siddhartha Varma and Jai Krishna Upadhyay on May 7, 2026.
