Rev Bishop Frank Markus Fernando Vs. M.A.O. Hussain – CA 843/2000-2000

In the case between M.A.O. Hussain (Plaintiff-Respondent) and Rev. Bishop Frank Marcus Fernando (Defendant-Appellant), the court was called to consider a motion by the Defendant-Appellant’s counsel to withdraw an ongoing appeal. The decision centered on whether withdrawal should be permitted in the absence of objection from the Plaintiff-Respondent. It was determined that the application for withdrawal was permissible, resulting in dismissal of the appeal without costs. This outcome reaffirmed the procedural principle that, where no objection is advanced, withdrawal of an appeal may be allowed, and the record will be remitted to the appropriate District Court as directed.
