Case Note & Summary
The petitioner, MSGP Infra Tech Pvt. Ltd., filed a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India before the High Court of Karnataka at Bengaluru, seeking to quash an impugned communication dated 7.3.2018 issued by the second respondent (Director of Municipal Administration and Director of Swachh Bharat Mission) and to direct the respondents to consider the petitioner's proposal/representations dated 13.3.2018 and grant subsidy under the Swachh Bharat Mission scheme. The respondents included the State of Karnataka, the Director of Municipal Administration, and the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP). During the hearing, the counsel for the petitioner filed a memo praying for leave to withdraw the petition. The court took the memo on record and disposed of the petition as withdrawn. Consequently, the pending interlocutory application (IA-1/19) was also disposed of as not surviving for consideration. The court did not adjudicate on the merits of the case.
