The plaintiff's counsel appeared and stated that they had instructions to withdraw the suit. The reason for withdrawal was explicitly stated to be due to pending Goods and Services Tax (GST) issues. The defendants were Rajesh Sultania & Anr.
Held

Consequently, the Court ordered the dismissal of the present suit as withdrawn. The pending applications associated with the suit were also dismissed as withdrawn. No specific GST provisions were discussed or interpreted by the Court in this order, as the matter was disposed of on the procedural aspect of withdrawal.
Key Issues

The Court had to decide if this reason was sufficient to permit withdrawal. The judgment does not record any specific arguments from the defendants' side regarding the withdrawal of the suit.
