Summary

The New India Assurance Company Ltd. filed a first appeal (ST) No. 30948 of 2012 before the National Lok Adalat of the Bombay High Court, seeking leave to withdraw the appeal. The learned counsel, Mr. D. R. Mahadik, appeared on behalf of the appellant and requested that the appeal be withdrawn. The Court, after considering the application, granted leave and permitted the appeal to be withdrawn. Consequently, the appeal was disposed of as withdrawn, and the accompanying civil applications (Nos. 466 and 467 of 2013) were also dismissed as they could not survive the withdrawal. The Court directed that any statutory deposit be returned to the jurisdictional Tribunal and that court fees, if any, be refunded as per the applicable rules.
