Holding
The court held that the petitioner may withdraw the application and is granted liberty to file a representation before respondent No. 8.
Summary
The petitioner, Rampravesh Chauhan, filed a civil writ application before the Patna High Court seeking redress of grievances against several government bodies, including the Union of India and the Bihar State Road Transport Corporation. He later requested permission to withdraw the application and to be allowed to file a detailed representation before the Chief Account Officer of the Bihar State Road Transport Corporation (respondent No. 8). The primary issue before the court was whether the petitioner could be permitted to withdraw the writ and subsequently approach the respondent for adjudication of his grievances. The court examined the procedural propriety of allowing a withdrawal and found no impediment to granting such liberty. Accordingly, the court granted the petitioner's request, dismissed the writ application as withdrawn, and permitted him to file a representation before respondent No. 8 if he so desired.
