3. Learned State counsel submits that although the charge-sheet has already been filed on 08.12.2025, the same has merely been brought on record by learned counsel for the petitioner along with a covering memo dated 30.01.2026, and no consequential amendment has been carried out in the prayer clause of the writ petition so as to specifically assail the said charge-sheet. 4. In view of the aforesaid submission advanced on behalf of the State, learned counsel for the petitioner seeks leave of this Court to withdraw the present petition with liberty to institute a fresh petition incorporating an appropriate challenge to the charge-sheet. 5.
Considering the above and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition is dismissed as withdrawn, with liberty to the petitioner to avail appropriate remedy in accordance with
3 law against the charge-sheet, if so advised and if the cause still survives. 6. Certified copies of all annexures appended with the petition shall be returned to learned counsel for the petitioner after retaining photocopies thereof on the record for reference.
