Case Overview
- Parties: Petitioner – Rituparna Das; Respondents – Union of India & Ors., Indian Bank.
- Nature of Proceeding: Writ Petition (WPA 24277 of 2026) challenging the status of the petitioner’s candidature, with biometric verification issues.
- Key Points:
- The affidavit of service filed in court was ordered to be kept on record.
- The court observed that the petition was premature because the petitioner’s biometrics did not exactly match the records.
- Indian Bank was actively verifying the genuineness of the petitioner’s left thumb impression placed on record.
- Since the bank had not rejected the candidature and was still conducting verification, the petitioner’s counsel, Ms. Das, sought leave to withdraw the writ petition.
- The court granted leave to withdraw.
Final Outcome
- The writ petition was dismissed as withdrawn following the grant of leave.
