Case Note & Summary
The petitioner, Ce-Chem Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd., filed a writ petition under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India before the High Court of Karnataka at Bengaluru, seeking a direction to the third respondent, the Karnataka Industrial Area and Development Board (KIADB), to allot site No.279P instead of site No.56B at 4th Phase, Dobaspet Industrial Area. During the pendency of the petition, the petitioner filed a memo for withdrawal, stating that subsequent to the filing of the writ petition, the KIADB had sent a letter dated 13.05.2020 (No.KIADB/HO/ALLOT/21195/379/2020-21) informing that in its board meeting held on 17.02.2020, it had resolved to refund the forfeited amount of Rs.18,10,000/- in favour of the petitioner. In light of this development, the petitioner sought permission to withdraw the writ petition. The court, per Justice P.B. Bajanthri, allowed the withdrawal and disposed of the writ petition as withdrawn. No costs were imposed. The judgment is brief and does not involve any legal analysis or determination of substantive issues.
