Disposal: 40-WITHDRAWN @ FH
Bench: P M RAVAL

Holding

The court exercised its inherent jurisdiction to permit the withdrawal of the revision application and ordered its disposal as withdrawn.

Summary

Arunaben filed a criminal revision application (R/CR.RA/212/2026) before the Gujarat High Court challenging an order of a subordinate court. The applicant later discovered inadvertent mistakes in the petition and sought the court's permission to withdraw the revision and file a fresh one. The court examined whether it could allow such a withdrawal under its inherent powers. Relying on procedural principles that permit withdrawal to prevent abuse of process and to ensure justice, the court granted the request. Consequently, the revision application was disposed of as withdrawn.
