The court dismissed the writ petitions as they were withdrawn by the petitioners without any adjudication on the merits of the challenge against the e-filing notifications.

Headnote:The petitions were filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking a Writ of Certiorarified Mandamus to quash Notification No.265/2025 and Notification No.327/2025 issued by the Registrar General of the High Court of Madras. The petitioners challenged the e-filing system adopted in District Courts and sought a direction to permit simultaneous manual filing. As the learned counsel for the petitioners sought to withdraw both petitions at the initial stage, the court did not frame specific issues or delve into the ratio decidendi regarding the merits of the e-filing system. The writ petitions are dismissed as withdrawn, without commenting upon the merits of the case.
