Allahabad High Court
JITENDRA YADAVversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 3 OTHERS
- Decided
Holding
The writ petition was dismissed as infructuous because the filing of the charge sheet made the relief sought moot.
Summary
Petitioner Jitendra Yadav filed a criminal miscellaneous writ petition (No. 925 of 2023) before the Allahabad High Court seeking relief against the State of U.P. and three others. The petitioner’s counsel submitted that the charge sheet had already been filed and that no further judicial order was necessary. The Court examined the submission and found that the filing of the charge sheet rendered the petition moot. Consequently, the Court dismissed the writ petition as infructuous. The dismissal was pronounced by a bench of Hon'ble Judges Siddhartha Varma and Jai Krishna Upadhyay on May 12, 2026.
