Holding

A petitioner may withdraw a pending writ petition, and the court may dismiss the petition as withdrawn.

Summary

The petitioner, Ram Ishwar Prasad, filed a civil writ petition before the Patna High Court challenging a matter involving the State of Bihar and other respondents. While the petition was pending, the petitioner’s grievance was resolved to his satisfaction. Consequently, the petitioner’s counsel sought permission to withdraw the writ petition. The court considered whether a petitioner may withdraw a pending writ petition and whether the court can dismiss it on that basis. After hearing both sides, the court granted the petitioner's request to withdraw. The writ petition was therefore dismissed as withdrawn.
