Summary
Sunil Kumar filed Criminal Miscellaneous Writ Petition No. 8562 of 2026 before the Allahabad High Court. While the petition was pending, the petitioner was arrested. Counsel for the petitioner then informed the Court that, in view of the arrest, the petitioner no longer wished to pursue the writ and sought to withdraw it.
