Decided: 22 September 2026
Bench: GAUTAM CHOWDHARY

Holding

The court held that the applicant's withdrawal of the Section 528 BNSS application rendered it ineffective and it was dismissed.

Summary

The applicant, Umesh Singh, filed an application under Section 528 of the BNSS. After some deliberation, the applicant's counsel expressed a desire to no longer pursue the relief sought and to withdraw the application. The court was informed that the applicant no longer wishes to press the Section 528 application. Consequently, the court held that the withdrawal rendered the application ineffective. The application was therefore dismissed as null and void.
