Case Note & Summary
The present matter is a writ appeal (WA No. 859 of 2025) preferred against an order dated 02.07.2024 passed by a Single Judge in WP 5504 of 2021. The identity of the parties and the nature of the underlying dispute are not disclosed in the judgment. When the appeal came up for hearing before the Division Bench of the Madras High Court, the learned counsel for the appellants, Mr. K.P. Shanthosh, sought permission to withdraw the appeal and made an endorsement to that effect. The Bench, consisting of Dr. Justice Anita Sumanth and Mr. Justice C. Kumarappan, accepted the request and, in light of the endorsement, dismissed the writ appeal as withdrawn. No arguments on the merits of the case were advanced, and no legal principles or factual findings were recorded. The order does not impose any costs or conditions. The procedural history beyond the filing of the writ petition and the impugned order is not mentioned. The judgment concludes with directions to communicate the order to the respondents, who include the Inspector General of Registration, the District Registrar (Administration), the Sub-Registrar, and certain private individuals. The impact of the withdrawal is that the Single Judge’s order in WP 5504 of 2021 stands unaltered.
