Summary

Petitioner Namdev Dinkar Dagade filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court seeking relief against the Chief Officer of Wai Municipal Council. The petitioner, through counsel, later applied for permission to withdraw the petition. The Court considered the request and, without examining the merits, allowed the withdrawal, disposing of the petition as withdrawn.
