Bombay High Court

KHAN MAHENOOR SOHAILRAZAversusNATIONAL TESTING AGENCY AND ORS

Decided: 9 September 2026
Disposal: Disposed Off

Holding

The Court held that the petitioner is entitled to withdraw the writ petition and granted leave accordingly.

Summary

The petitioner, Khan Mahenoor Sohailraza, filed a writ petition before the High Court of Bombay seeking relief against the National Testing Agency and other respondents. The petitioner later approached the Court requesting permission to withdraw the petition. The primary issue before the Court was whether the petitioner could be allowed to withdraw the writ petition after filing it. The Court examined the procedural rule that a party may be permitted to withdraw a petition with the Court's leave. Finding no impediment to granting such leave, the Court granted the petitioner's request. Consequently, the writ petition was formally disposed of as withdrawn.
