Lalita Singh v. State of Bihar

2008-08-18

body2008
ORDER Lalita Singh-appellant is present in person. He submits that whatever he has to say has already been stated in the memorandum of appeal. His main grievance is that he did not apply in writing for withdrawal of the writ petition. Mr. Ibrahim Kabir, Advocate was appointed by the court to assist him, and without his authority he withdrew his writ petition. 2. It is stated in the petition that the writ petition having been admitted way back in the year 2001, there was no occasion for him to withdraw the writ petition. 3. That Mr. Ibrahim Kabir, Advocate, was appointed by the court to assist the appellant is not disputed by the junior counsel representing the respondents. In this view of the matter, we are of the view that interest of justice shall be sub-served if the writ petition is restored to its original file for consideration of the matter. 4. We, accordingly, set aside the order dated 14th March, 2008 and restore the writ petition to its original file for fresh hearing by the Single Judge. 5. The appeal is disposed of accordingly.
