Shivam Agro Industries vs. Union Of INDIA
Facts
The petitioners, Shivam Agro Industries & Anr., filed a Special Civil Application (SCA) No. 1390 of 2022 before the High Court of Gujarat at Ahmedabad. The respondents were the Union of India and others. The petitioner's advocate submitted that due to a subsequent revision in GST, the prayers made in the petition no longer survived. Consequently, the petitioner sought permission to withdraw the writ petition.
Held
The Court acceded to the petitioner's request to withdraw the writ petition. The Court found that the prayers made by the petitioner were no longer surviving due to a subsequent revision in GST. Therefore, the petition was disposed of as withdrawn, and the rule issued in the matter was discharged. No specific findings on the merits of the GST revision or the original prayers were made, as the petition was withdrawn at the petitioner's behest.
Key Issues
1. Whether the prayers made in the writ petition survive in light of the subsequent revision of GST? The petitioner argued that the prayers in the petition have become infructuous due to a subsequent revision of GST and therefore sought to withdraw the petition. The respondents did not appear to argue any counter-contention.
