Holding
The court disposed of the application as withdrawn, granting the petitioner’s request to withdraw the writ petition.
Summary
The petitioner, Upendra Nath Verma, filed a writ petition seeking to quash an order dated 28 January 2022 that returned his service to his parent department without his consent, allegedly violating State Government decisions dated 22 January 2019 and 6 January 2022. The petition alleged that the respondent department acted contrary to those decisions by reverting his transfer. During the hearing on 12 May 2026, the petitioner’s counsel requested permission to withdraw the application. The court considered the procedural propriety of allowing a withdrawal of a pending writ petition. No merits of the original relief were examined as the petition was voluntarily withdrawn. Consequently, the court disposed of the application as withdrawn.
