After making some submissions, Mr. Harsh Vardhan Sharma, Counsel for the Applicant, states that he would like to withdraw the present application. However, he draws the attention of this court to the fact that the Applicant, a young individual, approximately 20 years old at the time of arrest, with no prior criminal antecedents, has remained in custody for over six years.
