Holding

A writ petition, once withdrawn by the petitioner, is disposed of by the court without further adjudication.

Summary

The petitioners, Bhagwan Punjaji Dighe and others, filed Writ Petition No. 10456 of 2019 before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench. The petitioners, through their counsel, submitted a written instruction to withdraw the petition. The respondent, Devidas Dnyandeo Pandit and others, were served with notice but no opposition to the withdrawal was recorded. The learned judge considered the petitioner's request and noted that a petition may be withdrawn at any stage before a final order. Consequently, the court disposed of the writ petition as withdrawn, without further hearing or adjudication on the merits.
