Dharam Pal vs State Of Delhi

The Supreme Court dismissed Criminal Appeal No. 890 of 2005 as not pressed at the request of the appellant, who had already served a 7-year sentence imposed by the High Court. Consequently, the Court declined to interfere with Criminal Appeal No. 891 of 2005, given the peculiar facts of the case and the withdrawal of the appeal by the accused. The outcome reflects the principle that a party may withdraw an appeal, leading to dismissal without further examination of merits.
