Decided
Disposal
Disposed Off

Holding

The Court allowed the withdrawal of all pending writ petitions and disposed of them as withdrawn.

Summary

M/s. Mundara Developers had filed a series of writ petitions (Nos. 806/2023, 14100/2022, 2038/2026, etc.) challenging an order dated 07 February 2019 issued by the Grievance Redressal Committee (Respondent No. 8). The petitioner, through counsel, submitted written instructions seeking permission to withdraw all the pending writ petitions. The Court examined whether it could entertain the withdrawal request under procedural law. Relying on the principle that a petitioner may withdraw a petition at any stage before judgment, the Court accepted the written instructions. Consequently, all the writ petitions were disposed of as withdrawn without any order for costs.

Issues considered

  • Whether a petitioner may withdraw multiple pending writ petitions by submitting written instructions.
  • Whether the Court can entertain a withdrawal application after the petitions have been listed.

Subjects

  • writ petition
  • withdrawal
  • procedural law
  • Grievance Redressal Committee
  • civil appellate jurisdiction
