3. Learned counsel for the appellant/defendant has submitted that he has no objection to the withdrawal of the suit. However, he has raised objections to the condition imposed by the learned trial court permitting the plaintiff to file a fresh suit, if so desired.
4. Learned counsel for the appellant/defendant has further submitted that the suit filed by the plaintiff was for permanent injunction and not for declaration of title. There is substance in the submission made by learned counsel for the appellant/defendant.
