Held

The Court allowed the application seeking withdrawal of the present writ petition. The Court granted the petitioners liberty to take appropriate remedy as per law. Consequently, the Civil Writ Petition was dismissed as withdrawn with the aforesaid liberty. The Court also disposed of any pending applications in the matter. The reasoning for allowing the withdrawal was based on the petitioners' request and the absence of any opposition from the respondents. No specific GST provisions were discussed or interpreted, and the Court did not delve into the merits of the original dispute. The operative direction was the dismissal of the writ petition as withdrawn, with the liberty granted to the petitioners to pursue other legal avenues.

Key Issues

The primary issue before the Court was whether to allow the petitioners' application to withdraw the writ petition. The petitioners sought permission to withdraw the petition with liberty to pursue appropriate remedies as per law. The respondents, the Directorate General of GST Intelligence and its officers, were represented by 'None Present' at the hearing, indicating they did not present any arguments or objections to the withdrawal application. Therefore, the Court did not have to decide any substantive questions of GST law or fact, nor were there competing arguments presented by both sides on the merits of the case. The Court's decision was solely on the procedural request for withdrawal.
