1As a rule, in an administrative procedure instituted upon request, the public organ shall declare the conclusion without a final decision on the case, if the party that has submitted the request withdraws it.
2The public organ may declare the conclusion of an administrative procedure instituted upon request also if the circumstances clearly indicate that the party which has submitted the request has no more interest in the continuation of the procedure and has abandoned it.
3In any case, the withdrawal of the request or the abandonment of the procedure shall not affect its continuation, if the public body considers that the continuation of the procedure is in the public interest, except when that procedure is such that can be instituted only upon the request of the party.
4The procedure shall be declared abandoned, without a final decision on the case, if the interested party, due to its own fault, has been inactive during the time limit for the completion of the administrative procedure as per Article 91 of this Code.
5The abandonment of the procedure shall not abolish the right, which the individual has requested to be acknowledged to him.
