Allahabad High Court

Holding
The writ petition was dismissed as infructuous because the filing of the charge sheet terminated the basis for relief.
Summary
The petitioners filed a criminal miscellaneous writ petition challenging the proceedings against them in a case pending before the State of Uttar Pradesh. During the hearing, counsel for the petitioners informed the court that a charge sheet had been filed, rendering the petition moot. The court considered whether any further relief could be granted after the filing of the charge sheet. It held that the filing of the charge sheet made the writ petition infructuous and there was no basis for further orders. Consequently, the petition was dismissed as having become infructuous.
