Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that an application for withdrawal of a withdrawal application is maintainable under Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure, which grants inherent powers to the court to ensure justice. The Court disagreed with the High Court's view that the suit stands dismissed upon filing a withdrawal application without an order. The judgment of the High Court was set aside, allowing the appeal and directing the suit to proceed on merits.
