Whether Reporters Of Local Papers ... vs Mr Jd Ajmera For The

High Court Of Gujarat|16 July, 2012

JUDGMENT / ORDER

1.The matter was called out for hearing in the first round then in the second round and lastly in the third round, but none appeared for the petitioner. Yesterday the counsel for the petitioner made a request for listing of this case on board as he does not want to press this Special Civil Application. The petitioner has passed a slip in which he prayed that he may be permitted to withdraw this Special Civil Application with a liberty to file afresh if required. So far as the withdrawal of the writ petition is concerned, the counsel for the respondent has no objection, but Shri Ajmera contended that the liberty should not be granted.
2.I have considered the objection raised by the learned counsel for the respondent. So far as the withdrawal is concerned, there is no objection to the same by the respondent, but Shri Ajmera is correct to contend that the liberty cannot be granted merely on asking of the petitioner. The petitioner has not made out any case whatsoever for grant of the liberty to file fresh petition, if required. Liberty can be granted only when the case is made out for the same. Merely because the petitioner has got the relief in the present case under the interim relief, he now does not want to press this petition i.e. he is avoiding to take the decision on merits and seeking the liberty for filing the fresh petition, so that in case any action is taken after the interim relief is vacated by this court he may approach this court. The petitioner cannot be allowed to play the tricks with the court. Once he has filed this petition and interim relief has been granted to him then no such liberty can be granted for filing fresh petition. So far as withdrawal is concerned, it is his choice to continue with the petition or not.
3.In the result, this Special Civil Application is dismissed as withdrawn without any liberty to file the fresh petition. Rule discharged. Interim relief granted by this Court stands vacated.
