Disposal: 27-WITHDRAWN @ ADM.STAGE
Bench: SANJEEV THAKER

Holding

The High Court may permit the withdrawal of a Special Criminal Application for parole leave.

Summary

Dashrath Singh, the applicant, filed a Special Criminal Application (Parole Leave) before the Gujarat High Court seeking parole. Subsequently, the applicant's counsel requested permission to withdraw the application because a separate parole application was already pending before the appropriate authority. The Court examined whether it had the jurisdiction to allow the withdrawal of a pending application. Relying on its inherent powers to manage procedural matters, the Court found no legal impediment to permitting the withdrawal. Consequently, the Court granted the request, ordered the application withdrawn, and noted that the parole authority should decide the pending application within two weeks.
