A petitioner may be permitted to withdraw a writ petition and retain the right to avail an amnesty scheme, subject to the court’s discretion.
Summary
M/s Ujjwal Roto Moulding filed a civil writ petition before the Patna High Court against the State of Bihar and the Bihar Industrial Area Development Authority. The petitioner sought permission to withdraw the writ petition and to avail the Amnesty Policy 2025 issued by BIADA. The issue before the court was whether the petitioner could be allowed to withdraw the petition and still benefit from the amnesty scheme. The court examined the procedural rule that a petitioner may withdraw a writ petition at any stage, subject to the court’s discretion, and noted that such withdrawal would not prejudice the respondents. Accordingly, the court granted the request, allowing withdrawal with liberty to avail the amnesty. The writ petition was consequently disposed of as withdrawn.
