Bombay High Court

DEEPAK RAKESH SINGHversusUNION OF INDIA AND ANR

Decided: 29 September 2026
Disposal: Allowed To be withdrawn

Holding

A writ petition may be withdrawn unconditionally upon the Court’s grant of leave, and the Court may dispose of any related interim applications.

Summary

The petitioner, Deepak Rakesh Singh, had filed Writ Petition No. 6280 of 2025 in the High Court of Bombay challenging an action of the Union of India and others. While the substantive issues of the petition were not elaborated, the petitioner later sought unconditional leave to withdraw the petition. The Court, exercising its inherent jurisdiction, considered the request and found no impediment to allowing the withdrawal. Accordingly, the Court granted leave to withdraw and ordered the petition to be disposed of as withdrawn. In view of the disposal of the writ petition, the accompanying interim application was also deemed to have no further existence and was disposed of. The judgment reflects the procedural principle that a petitioner may withdraw a writ petition at any stage, subject to the Court's discretion.
