Case Note & Summary
The Supreme Court of India dealt with multiple civil appeals arising from orders of the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal. The appeals included those from L&T Infrastructure Finance Company Limited and Hindustan Zinc Limited Employees Contributory Provident Fund Trust, among others. The appellants sought to withdraw their appeals after final orders were passed on 12.03.2021 and 12.03.2020, respectively. Mr. Gopal Jain, the learned Senior Advocate representing the appellants, requested the court to grant liberty to withdraw the appeals. The court, upon hearing the submissions, allowed the withdrawal of the appeals and disposed of them as withdrawn, vacating any interim orders that had been previously issued. The court's decision was consistent across the various appeals, reflecting a clear procedural outcome regarding the withdrawal of appeals following the issuance of final orders.
