M/S Tech Real Trading Private Limited vs. The Union Of INDIA

Held

The Court did not decide the substantive issues of the case. After the petitioners' counsel had argued for some time, they sought and were granted permission to withdraw the present petition. Consequently, the writ petition was dismissed as withdrawn. The Court explicitly reserved liberty for the petitioners to file a better writ petition in accordance with the law. No specific findings were made on any legal or factual issues, and therefore, no ratio decidendi can be extracted from this order. The operative direction was the dismissal of the petition as withdrawn, with liberty to refile.
