RP NO. 1581 OF 2025 | WP(C) NO.28954 OF 2025

A withdrawal request can be reconsidered and allowed if proven to be made by mistake.

Headnote:The review petition arises from a judgment allowing the petitioner to withdraw a writ petition, which the petitioner seeks to review, citing a mistake in the withdrawal request. The court recalls the previous judgment and allows the review petition, scheduling a new hearing. The primary issues addressed include the validity of the withdrawal request and the necessity of recalling the prior decision to ensure justice. The court holds that the withdrawal was indeed made in error, thus reversing its earlier decision.
