Summary

The petitioner, Harshraj Udailalji Choudhary, filed a Special Criminal Application seeking quashing of proceedings. During the hearing, the petitioner’s counsel requested permission to withdraw the petition. The court considered whether it could exercise its discretion to allow the withdrawal without prejudice to the State. Noting that the petitioner voluntarily sought the withdrawal and no substantive hearing on merits was required, the court exercised its inherent power to permit the withdrawal. Consequently, the court granted the request and ordered the matter to stand disposed as withdrawn.
