Decided: 7 July 2026
Disposal: Allowed To be withdrawn

Holding

The Court held that the interim application may be withdrawn unconditionally.

Summary

The applicant, Viran Kanubhai Patel, filed an interim application (No. 2194 of 2026) in Criminal Writ Petition (ST) No. 4428 of 2024 seeking the unconditional withdrawal of the application. The respondent State of Maharashtra opposed the withdrawal. The learned counsel for the applicant argued that the application should be allowed to be withdrawn without any conditions. The Court examined whether such a withdrawal could be permitted under procedural law. Finding no impediment, the Court granted permission for the unconditional withdrawal and ordered the application to be disposed of. Consequently, the interim application was allowed to be withdrawn and the matter was closed.
