Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that once a petitioner requests to withdraw a writ petition, the High Court should not delve into the merits of the case. The Court emphasized that the High Court's refusal to allow the withdrawal was inappropriate, leading to the conclusion that the order passed by the High Court must be set aside. Consequently, the consequential order made by the Registrar of Cooperative Societies was also rendered nonest, and the appeals were disposed of accordingly.
