Holding
The application is dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to file afresh.
Summary
The applicants, Puneet Taneja and another, filed an application under Section 528 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (BNSS No. 41095 of 2026) before the Allahabad High Court. They later approached the Court seeking to withdraw the application, stating that certain documents could not be annexed and essential facts could not be pleaded. Counsel for the applicants, Utkarsha Shukla, prayed that the application be dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to file afresh. The Court examined the request and found no impediment to allowing the withdrawal. Accordingly, the Court dismissed the application as withdrawn, granting the applicants liberty to re‑file a fresh application. A certified copy of the impugned order was to be returned to the applicants' counsel after a photostat copy was retained.
