Summary

Alpesh (also known as Vipul, Viplo, Somjibhai, Somabhai) Dabhi filed a Special Criminal Application for parole leave before the Gujarat High Court. The applicant later approached the Court seeking permission to withdraw the application because a related application was pending before the parole authority. The Court considered whether it could allow the withdrawal and dispose of the pending application. Relying on its inherent jurisdiction to manage procedural applications, the Court held that it could grant the request. Consequently, the Court permitted the withdrawal, disposed of the present application, and directed the authority to decide the matter within two weeks.
