Holding
The revision is dismissed as not pressed because the revisionist expressly indicated he does not wish to pursue it.
Summary
The revisionists, Jagat Singh and another, filed a criminal revision before the Allahabad High Court. During the hearing, counsel Arshad Ullah informed the court that the revisionists no longer wished to pursue the revision. The court considered whether a revision can continue when the parties have expressly indicated they do not want to press it. Relying on the revisionists' own statement, the court held that there was no longer any cause of action to be adjudicated. Consequently, the criminal revision was dismissed as not pressed. The order was pronounced by Justice Jai Krishna Upadhyay on October 1, 2026.
