In Brief
In this case, the Supreme Court addressed the proper procedure for approaching the High Court after being granted liberty to withdraw a special leave petition. The Court held that once permission to withdraw is granted, the only appropriate remedy is to file a review petition before the High Court, not a fresh application for re-hearing. The High Court's rejection of the appellant's application was unreasonable. Granting a one-time opportunity, the Court clarified that any review petition filed within two weeks would not be dismissed on grounds of delay."
