MILIND JAYKUMAR KOLEversusDATTA PANCHAYATAN AND ORS.

Disposal
Disposed Off

Holding

The Court allowed the withdrawal of the Letters Patent Appeal and disposed of it as withdrawn.

Summary

The appellants, Datta Panchayatan and others, filed a Letters Patent Appeal (No. 40 of 2004) challenging the order in Writ Petition No. 7323 of 2000. During the hearing, the appellants, through their counsel, sought the Court's permission to withdraw the appeal. The Court granted the permission and ordered that the Letters Patent Appeal be disposed of as withdrawn. Consequently, the related Civil Application No. 69 of 2014 and Interim Application No. 3443 of 2022, which were pending in the same proceedings, were also deemed disposed. No substantive merits of the original dispute were addressed as the appeal was withdrawn. The judgment was delivered by Justices Sharmila U. Deshmukh and Neeraj P. Dhote.
