Holding
The revision petition is dismissed as withdrawn.
Summary
The revision petition filed by a juvenile (the revisionist) sought relief in a criminal matter before the High Court of Allahabad. The revisionist, through counsel Gulafsha, requested that the revision be withdrawn because the juvenile had already confessed before the Juvenile Justice Board, Khuldabad, Prayagraj. The State of U.P. and the other respondents, represented by G.A. and Surendra Kumar Yadav, along with the Additional Government Advocate, raised no objection to the withdrawal. The Court considered whether a revision could be dismissed on the ground of voluntary withdrawal after a confession. Finding no impediment, the Court dismissed the revision as withdrawn. The order was pronounced by Justice Prashant Mishra‑I on 12 May 2026.
