Vinod vs Collector And Chairman District ...

The Supreme Court held that the second writ petition filed by the appellant is maintainable despite the withdrawal of the earlier writ petition, as the High Court only disposed of it and did not dismiss it. The Court emphasized that the specific prayer challenging a subsequent order was not considered by the High Court, warranting a review on merits. Consequently, the impugned judgment was set aside, and the High Court was directed to consider the writ petition No.484/2017 on its merits without prejudice to the merits of the case.
