- Disposal
- 27-WITHDRAWN @ ADM.STAGE
Holding
The court granted permission to withdraw the applications and disposed of them as withdrawn.
Summary
The petitioners, Dinesh Kumar Shukkarbhai Patel, filed a series of miscellaneous and special civil applications, including a contempt application, against Shahmeena Husain, Chairman of the Gujarat Water Supply and Sewerage Board, and others. The petitioner’s counsel, Mr. Rajesh M. Chauhan, informed the court that the applications would not be pursued at this stage and sought the court’s permission to withdraw them, reserving the right to file fresh applications later if necessary. The bench, comprising Justices Ilesh J. Vora and R. T. Vachhani, considered whether such withdrawal could be permitted under procedural law. No substantive merits of the underlying disputes were examined, as the request was purely procedural. The court granted the permission to withdraw and ordered the applications to be disposed of as withdrawn.
Issues considered
- Whether the High Court may grant permission to withdraw pending civil applications, including a contempt application, at the request of the applicant.
