Bombay High Court
SIDDHAV MOHAN NACHANE AND ANR.versusUNION OF INDIA AND ORS.
- Decided
- Disposal
- Allowed To be withdrawn
Holding
The Court allowed the petitioners to withdraw the writ petitions and dismissed them, along with the related interim applications.
Summary
Petitioners Subhash Bhimrao Bhopi & Anr filed multiple writ petitions challenging actions of the Union of India and other respondents. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) had already decided the petitioners' complaint, rendering the grievance moot. Petitioners, through counsel, sought unconditional leave to withdraw all pending writ petitions. The Court, after hearing, granted leave to withdraw and dismissed the petitions as withdrawn. Consequently, the related interim applications filed in 2024 and 2025 were also disposed of.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioners may withdraw their writ petitions after the SEBI has decided the underlying complaint?
- Whether the pending interim applications stand after the withdrawal of the main writ petitions?
Subjects
- withdrawal of writ petition
- SEBI
- interim application
