BALAN vs STATE OF T.N. — W.P.(C) No. 65/1999

Summary: On October 8, 2001, the Supreme Court of India (Justices R.C. Lahoti and K.G. Balakrishnan) heard Writ Petition No. 65 of 1999 filed by Balan and others against the State of Tamil Nadu. The Court dismissed the petition as withdrawn after counsel for the petitioners stated that petitioners 1 and 3 had already left the country following the dismissal of the State's appeal, while remaining petitioners in a refugee camp intended to seek permission from the detaining authority to leave upon arranging finances. The petition was rendered infructuous and accordingly dismissed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
