Case brief
What is this about?
Three clubbed writ petitions (W.P.(C) 6678/2023, 6687/2023, 6693/2023) before the High Court of Delhi; petitioners Khushmita (through mother Tanuja), Prateek Singh (minor, through father Dharamvir Singh) and Arushi (minor, through father Mukesh Kumar) sought admission in respondent no.2 School against the Directorate of Education. During pendency the petitioners were admitted to B.R. Tyagi Senior Secondary School on respondent no.1's intervention; counsel (Dr. Amit George, Aarkaneil Bhaumik, Adhishwar Suri for petitioners; Namit Suri, Rameezuddin Raja, Tanya Sharma for R2) withdrew the petitions, which were dismissed as withdrawn on 15.04.2025 by Justice Vikas Mahajan. No statute or precedent cited; no costs or amounts awarded.
What did the court decide?
Since the petitioners had been admitted in another school during the pendency of the petitions and learned counsel sought withdrawal, the petitions were dismissed as withdrawn.
