Punjab Withdraws Its Habeas Corpus Plea Over The ED’s GMADA Search After Officers Are Set Free

The State of Punjab has withdrawn its habeas corpus petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court over the Enforcement Directorate’s search at the GMADA headquarters, after the search ended and the officers the State alleged were illegally confined were set free. A court-appointed Warrant Officer had reported that the officers themselves said they were not illegally detained. The Court allowed the withdrawal with liberty to raise all issues before an appropriate forum.
