The appeal was filed on 14 th April, 2011. On the 7 th June, 2011 the date the
case was scheduled for mention, the panel received a withdrawal notice from the
counsel to the appellants one Borry Touray dated 6 th day of June, 2011 informing
the panel that the appellants hereby wholly discontinue this appeal. The parties
were present before the court.
The Panel: We strike out this appeal as prayed because Islamic Law Procedure
accepts it as stipulated in Al-Fawakihud Dawani Volume 2 page 296 where it is
provided thus:
Meaning: the plaintiff is he who will be left alone whenever he decides to
terminate the suit.
We therefore strike out the appeal accordingly.
