The following observation of the Supreme Court in the case of Sar-guja Transport Service (supra) leave no scope for any doubt for the view that a second writ petition on the same cause of action is absolutely barred: "But we are of the view that the principle underlying Rule 1 Order XXIII of the Code should be extended in the interest of administration of justice to cases of withdrawal of writ petition also, not on the ground of res judicata but on the ground of public policy as explained above. It would also discourage the litigant from indulging in bench-hunting tactics. In any event there is no justifiable reason in such a case to permit a petitioner to invoke the extraordinary jurisdiction of the High Court under Art. 226 of the Constitution once again. While the withdrawal of a writ petition filed in High Court without permission to file a fresh writ petition may not bar other remedies like a suit or a petition under Art. 32 of the Constitution since such withdrawal does not amount to res-judicata, the remedy under Art. 226 of the Constitution should be deemed to have been abandoned by the petitioenr in respect of the cause of action relief on in the writ petition when he withdraws it without such permission. In the instant case the High Court was right in holding that a fresh writ petition was not maintainable before it in respect of the same subject-matter since the earlier writ petition had been withdrawn without permission to a fresh petition. In the instant case the High Court was right in holding that a fresh writ petition was not maintainable before it in respect of the same subject-matter since the earlier writ petition had been withdrawn without permission to a fresh petition. We, however, make it clear that whatever we have stated in this order may not be considered as being applicable to a writ petition involving the personal liberty of an individual in which the petitioner prays for the issue of a writ in the nature of habeas corpus or seeks to enforce the fundamental right guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution since such a case stands on a different footing altogether. We, however, leave this question open." fu.kZ; ds iSjk 5 esa vfHkfu/kkZfjr fd;k x;k gS fd "Thus, we hold that the decision of the Supreme Court in Sarguja Transport (supra) operates as an absolute bar against entertainment of another subsequent writ petition when an earlier petition has been withdrawn without reserving liberty to file fresh petition and second petition cannot be entertained by the High Court on the same subject-matter, except in petitions in the nature of habeas corpus for which exception has been carved out in the said decision of the Supreme Court. The reference is answered accordingly. ;|fi ;g fl}kar fjV ;kfpdk ds lEcU/k esa izfrikfnr fd;k x;k gS ijUrq U;k; dk tks fl}kar bl fu.kZ; esa fn;k x;k gS og iw.kZr;k% bl izdj.k esa ykxw gksrk gS vr% vknsk 23 fu;e 01 esa ifCyd ikWfylh ds fl}kar ds vuq:i ;g nkok vkjEHk ls gh pyus ;ksX; ugh Fkk] vr% vihy Lohdkj fd;s tkus ;ksX; ugh gSA mijksDr foospuk ds vk/kkj ij vihykFkhZ }kjk izLrqr vihy [kkfjt dh tkrh gS rFkk v/khuLFk U;k;ky;ksa }kjk ikfjr fu.kZ;ksa dks ;Fkkor j[kk tkrk gSA fu.kZ; [kqys U;k;ky; esa lquk;k x;kA
