- Decided
Holding
The writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn, with liberty granted to the petitioner to approach the appropriate forum later.
Summary
Babulal filed a criminal miscellaneous writ petition before the Allahabad High Court challenging actions of the State of Uttar Pradesh and three others. The investigation had already concluded, and a final report favoring the accused was submitted on 15 May 2026. The petitioner, through counsel, did not contest this fact but expressed a desire to withdraw the petition, seeking liberty to approach the appropriate forum later if needed. The learned Additional Government Advocate confirmed the final report and the petitioner's request. The Court, after hearing both sides, dismissed the writ petition as withdrawn, granting the petitioner liberty to approach a suitable forum at a later stage.
