In Brief
The appellant filed a writ petition challenging a communication dated 3 September 2016, after withdrawing an earlier writ petition. The High Court dismissed the second petition as unmaintainable on the ground that it was filed after withdrawing the earlier petition without leave. The Supreme Court set aside this order, holding that the second writ petition was maintainable because it challenged a different, subsequent order that had not been previously raised. The Court remanded the case to the High Court to consider the petition on merits.
