Summary

After the application was listed, the petitioner’s counsel, Ms. Manjula R. Chauhan, moved the court for permission to withdraw the application. The respondent, the State of Gujarat, was represented by Mr. Vinay Vishen. The court considered whether it had the jurisdiction to allow the withdrawal of a pending parole application.

Accordingly, the court granted the petitioner's request, ordered the application to stand disposed of as withdrawn.
