3. It is trite to take note of the judgment of Hon'ble Apex
Court in Abhimanyoo Ram v. State of Uttar Pradesh and
another 1, the Hon'ble Apex Court at Paragraph No.6, held as
follows:
"6. Any attempt by a litigant to retain the benefit of the interim order by avoiding final adjudication, requires to be deprecated. In fact, it requires to be dealt with sternly. Courts should bestow caution while dismissing cases where interim relief had been granted as not pressed or as withdrawn. The courts cannot proceed on the assumption that all concerned would know about the legal consequences of dismissal and therefore, it is not necessary to make any order in regard to the interim relief already
(2008) 17 SCC 73 3 JAK,J wp_15854_2023 granted. Even though the legal effect of dismissal on withdrawal, is vacation of the interim order, the respondents concerned not being aware of the legal consequences, will not take consequential action but continue the benefit extended to the petitioner by the interim order, unless there is a specific direction spelling out the consequences. Sometimes, the departmental concerned officials, on account of collusion with the petitioners who had obtained the interim relief, will not withdraw or reverse the benefit granted to the petitioner in pursuance of the interim order, when the petition is withdrawn or dismissed as not pressed. Therefore, appropriate consequential directions cancelling or vacating the interim order should be passed so as to restore status quo ante. In cases where the prayer for dismissal (as not pressed or withdrawn) is made even before the respondent is served, then the order vacating the interim order should be communicated to the authority against whom the interim order was issued, so that any benefit extended as a consequence of the interim order, can be withdrawn or reversed. The only exception is where the respondents agree for the continuance of the interim order as a final relief, or agree that the benefit of the interim order already granted need not be disturbed, in which event, the court should record such submission and pass appropriate consequential orders.
4. The said proposition of law was reaffirmed in the
judgment of Kalabharati Advertising v. Hemanth Vimalnath
Narichania and others 2.
5. Heard the learned counsel for petitioner, this Court deems
it appropriate to permit the writ petition to be withdrawn,
subject to the condition that the interim order granted on
06.12.2023 shall stand vacated, in view of the law laid down by
the Hon'ble Apex Court.
(2010) 9 SCC 437
4 JAK,J wp_15854_2023
6. With the above observations, the writ petition is dismissed
as withdrawn. There shall be no order as to costs.
Miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall stand
closed.
