PROVINCE OF BALUCHISTAN Through Secretary, C & W Department, Quetta
This matter came before the Supreme Court of Pakistan as an appeal filed by the Province of Baluchistan, represented by the Secretary of the C & W Department. Upon the commencement of proceedings, the learned Advocate-General, acting on behalf of the appellant, formally requested the Court's permission to withdraw the appeal. The learned counsel for the respondent indicated that they had no objection to this request. Consequently, the Court granted the permission sought by the appellant. The Supreme Court of Pakistan accordingly dismissed the appeal as withdrawn, with no order issued regarding costs. The judgment serves as a procedural record of the voluntary withdrawal of the appeal by the appellant with the concurrence of the respondent, thereby concluding the litigation between the parties before the Supreme Court.
- Can an appellant withdraw an appeal before the Supreme Court of Pakistan with the consent of the respondent?
- Does the withdrawal of an appeal by the appellant result in an order as to costs?
ORDER
