Holding

Summary

The Lilavati Foundation, represented by its authorized signatory Vaibhav Dhariwal, filed multiple restoration applications before the Gujarat High Court. The foundation sought the Court's permission to withdraw these applications while retaining the liberty to initiate appropriate proceedings in the future. The respondents, the Recovery Officer and others, opposed the withdrawal. The Court, after hearing counsel, granted the requested permission, holding that withdrawal would not prejudice the foundation's future litigation rights. Consequently, the restoration applications were dismissed as withdrawn and the civil applications were consigned to the record.
