Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Punjab and Haryana High Court's dismissal of a civil revision under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. The Court emphasized that a party's consent to withdraw a suit must be clear and unequivocal, and the absence of proper representation or consent can render proceedings invalid. The Court held that the trial court's failure to address the withdrawal application warranted intervention, leading to the remand of the case for proper adjudication.
