Holding

An appeal may be withdrawn by the appellant upon filing a praecipe, and such withdrawal results in the disposal of the appeal and any related applications.

Summary

The appellant Reliance General Insurance Company filed a praecipe seeking to withdraw its appeal in a civil matter before the Bombay High Court. The respondents, Annie Rajan and others, did not appear or file any opposition. The court considered the appellant’s request and, noting the procedural rule allowing withdrawal of an appeal, permitted the withdrawal. Consequently, the appeal was disposed of as withdrawn, and any security deposit was to be transferred to the appropriate authority for possible refund. The associated civil applications and interim application were also dismissed, and any interim relief previously granted was vacated. Court fees were to be refunded in accordance with the rules.
