Allahabad High Court
SMT. ABHILASHA AND ANOTHERversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 3 OTHERS
- Decided
Holding
The writ petition is dismissed as infructuous because a charge sheet has been filed.
Summary
Petitioners Smt. Abhilasha and another filed a criminal miscellaneous writ petition challenging the proceedings against them. The petitioners argued that the filing of a charge sheet rendered the writ petition infructuous and therefore it should be dismissed. The respondents, the State of U.P. and others, did not contest this ground. The High Court examined whether the filing of a charge sheet automatically makes a writ petition infructuous. Finding that the petitioners' submission was correct, the Court dismissed the writ petition as infructuous. The order was pronounced on May 7, 2026.
