Issues: (i) Whether the writ petition was maintainable in view of the earlier withdrawal and fresh institution on the same cause of action; (ii) whether the petitioners had approached the proper forum for the reliefs sought.
Issue (i): Whether the writ petition was maintainable in view of the earlier withdrawal and fresh institution on the same cause of action.
Analysis: The petitioners had earlier filed a writ petition on the same factual matrix and for the same reliefs, which was dismissed as withdrawn without liberty to file a fresh petition. The subsequent filing of the present writ petition on the very next day, without any leave to institute a fresh proceeding, offended the doctrine of finality and the principle that litigation must come to an end.
Conclusion: The writ petition was not maintainable.
Issue (ii): Whether the petitioners had approached the proper forum for the reliefs sought.
Analysis: The pleadings themselves showed that the connected criminal and insolvency proceedings were pending in Bangalore, including the FIR and the proceedings before the NCLT. In that background, the chosen forum was held to be inappropriate for the reliefs claimed, and continuation of the proceedings was found unsustainable.
Conclusion: The petitioners had approached the wrong forum.
Final Conclusion: The writ petition could not be entertained and was brought to an end on maintainability grounds arising from prior withdrawal and improper forum selection.
Ratio Decidendi: A writ petition filed on the same cause of action after an earlier petition was withdrawn without liberty, and instituted before an inappropriate forum, is not maintainable.
