Allahabad High Court
BAJRANG LAL HARIRAM TIBREWALA AND 2 OTHERSversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 2 OTHERS
- Decided
Holding
The writ petition is dismissed as not pressed because the charge-sheet has been filed.
Summary
The petitioners, Bajrang Lal Hariram Tibrewala and two others, filed a criminal miscellaneous writ petition before the Allahabad High Court seeking relief against the State. The petitioners' counsel informed the Court that the police had already submitted a charge-sheet in the underlying criminal case. Relying on this submission, the petitioners requested that the writ petition be dismissed as not pressed, while also seeking liberty to pursue any other legal remedy available. The Court examined the status of the charge-sheet and concluded that the filing of the charge-sheet rendered the writ petition unnecessary. Consequently, the Court dismissed the writ petition as not pressed, granting the petitioners liberty to approach the appropriate forum for any further relief. No substantive merits of the petition were addressed beyond the procedural dismissal.
