The petitioner has also prayed that he be not arrested in pursuance of the impugned FIR. 3. Despite the order dated 10.9.2025, no instruction has been passed on by the learned AGA.

Learned counsel for the petitioner states that Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Adwait Prakash Ojha, Manish Tiwari Counsel for Respondent(s) : G.A. Sanki Singhal .....Petitioner(s) State Of U.P.

Till the next date of listing or till the submission of police report, whichever is earlier, the petitioner shall not be arrested subject to his cooperation in the investigation. In the event, the petitioner does not cooperate in the investigation, the police would be at liberty to approach this Court."
6. Order sheet shows that office has submitted a report dated 05.10.2026 stating therein that learned counsel for petitioner has not taken steps for service upon unserved respondents. Since steps have not been taken by learned counsel for petitioner in compliance of the order dated 9.10.2025, therefore, present writ petition is hereby dismissed. 7. Interim order, if any, stands vacated. October 5, 2026 AKT CRLP No. 20066 of 2025 2 (Jai Krishna Upadhyay,J.) (Rajeev Misra,J.)
