- Decided
Holding
The writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn, with liberty granted to the petitioners to approach the appropriate forum later.
Summary
The petitioners, Malkeet Singh and another, filed a criminal miscellaneous writ petition before the Allahabad High Court challenging the proceedings against them. The State informed the Court that the investigation had been completed and a charge‑sheet was filed on 06‑07‑2026. The petitioners did not dispute these facts but expressed their intention to withdraw the writ petition, reserving the right to approach the appropriate forum later. The Court, noting the petitioners' clear request to withdraw, dismissed the writ petition as withdrawn while granting them liberty to approach the appropriate forum at a later stage. The dismissal effectively closed the writ petition without adjudicating the merits of the underlying criminal case.
