Holding
The petition is dismissed as it has become infructuous due to the filing of the charge-sheet.
Summary
Petitioners Pradeep Kumar and four others filed a criminal miscellaneous writ petition before the Allahabad High Court. Their counsel argued that the petition had become infructuous because a charge-sheet had been filed in the underlying criminal case. The court examined this submission and found that the filing of the charge-sheet indeed rendered the writ petition moot. Consequently, the court dismissed the petition as infructuous. No further orders were made.
