Laxmi Rai & Ors vs Sanjai Bhattacharya & Ors on 19 October, 2011
The same fell for consideration of the Supreme court in Bijayananda vs.
Satrughan Sahu (supra), wherein it has been observed that the provisions of
Order 23, rule 1(1) and (3) also apply in the same manner to withdrawal of
appeals. It is thus evident that the judgment-debtor's application for withdrawal
of the appeal was competent. It has further been laid down that the appellant has
5
an absolute right to withdraw the appeal and no discretion is left in the court to
prohibit the same.
