Summary

Petitioner Touquire Azad Siddiquie filed a writ petition before the Gujarat High Court. The petitioner, through Senior Advocate Tushar Hemani and counsel Ms. Vaibhavi K. Parikh, sought the Court's permission to withdraw the petition on the ground that the passage of time had rendered the matter infructuous. The respondents, represented by Mr. Rutvij R. Patel and Mr. Varun K. Patel, were served with the application. The Court considered whether a writ petition could be withdrawn at this stage and whether such permission could be granted. Finding no impediment, the Court granted the request and ordered the petition to stand disposed as withdrawn. The order was pronounced by Justices A.S. Supehia and Vaibhavi D. Nanavati.
