Holding

The Court allowed the withdrawal of the interim application and disposed of it.

Summary

The applicants, Keraba Bhau Mangle and others, filed an interim application in Writ Petition No. 772 of 2026 seeking relief against the State of Maharashtra. Their counsel later requested permission to withdraw the application, stating an intention to approach the appropriate authority and forum for the grievance. The Court examined the request and, exercising its inherent powers, granted leave to withdraw the application as prayed. Consequently, the interim application was disposed of. The Court also directed that the writ petition be listed for admission on 8 October 2026 and that any earlier interim relief continue until that date, with no further time to be granted to the respondents.
