Bombay High Court

SHRADDHA PRAKASH SAWARDEKARversusDY COLLECTOR (ENC/REM) AND COMPETENT AUTHORITY COMPETENT AUTHORITY-1 SRA AND ORS

Decided: 21 September 2026
Disposal: Disposed off as Withdrawn

Holding

The petition stands disposed of as withdrawn, and the interim application is likewise disposed.

Summary

Shraddha Prakash Sawardekar filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court seeking relief against the Dy. Collector and other authorities. Subsequent events rendered the cause of action moot, and the petitioner's counsel moved the court to withdraw the petition. The court accepted the withdrawal and ordered the petition to stand disposed as withdrawn. Consequently, the accompanying interim application, which was dependent on the main petition, was also disposed. No substantive merits of the original claims were adjudicated.

Issues considered

Whether a writ petition may be withdrawn by the petitioner after filing?
Whether the disposal of the main petition automatically disposes the related interim application?
