Holding

The court granted leave to withdraw the writ petition and dismissed it as withdrawn.

Summary

Petitioners Radhey Shyam and two others filed Criminal Miscellaneous Writ Petition No. 23019 of 2026 before the Allahabad High Court. After hearing, counsel for the petitioners sought leave to withdraw the petition, stating they would pursue any appropriate remedy elsewhere. The State of Uttar Pradesh and other respondents opposed the petition on its merits but did not object to the withdrawal request. The court noted that there was no objection to the petitioners' request and, without examining the merits, granted leave to withdraw. Consequently, the writ petition was dismissed as withdrawn with liberty as prayed for. The order was signed by Judges Chandra Dhari Singh and Abdul Shahid on September 30, 2026.
