Authority: High Court of Gujarat at Ahmedabad
Order Date: 17/08/2026
Case Overview
- Petitioner: Motipura Doodh Utpadak Sahkari Mandali Ltd.; Respondents: State of Gujarat and others.
- The petition (Special Civil Application No. 1640 of 2026) was filed because the petitioner had earlier approached the Election Tribunal, which was then unavailable.
- An agreement between counsel Baiju Joshi (petitioner) and Archit Jani (respondent) noted the Tribunal’s recent constitution, prompting the petitioner to seek withdrawal of the court petition and request the Tribunal to decide the election petition expeditiously.
- The Court, after hearing counsel, noted that it had not examined the merits and imposed no outer time limit.
Final Outcome
- The High Court disposed of the petition as infructuous, permitting its withdrawal.
- The matter is to be heard by the now‑functioning Election Tribunal as soon as possible.
- No order as to costs; direct service of the order is permitted.
