When confronted with this fact, counsel for the petitioner chose to abandon the plea regarding the petitioner's mental capacity.

2.

In view of the above circumstances, the stay granted by this Court on 31st January, 2025, which was based on the petitioner's claim of mental illness and ongoing treatment, is no longer sustainable and, accordingly, stands vacated.
