Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The High Court may grant leave to withdraw a writ petition and dismiss it as withdrawn, provided no prejudice is caused.

Summary

The petitioner, Raghunath R. More, filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, seeking leave to withdraw the petition while retaining the liberty to pursue any appropriate legal remedy. The petitioner’s counsel, Mr. Mahajan Sudhakar T., submitted the application for withdrawal. The sole issue before the court was whether it could grant permission to withdraw a pending writ petition. The court, exercising its inherent jurisdiction, considered the procedural propriety of allowing a petition to be withdrawn. It held that a petitioner may be permitted to withdraw a writ petition if no prejudice is caused to the respondents. Accordingly, the court granted leave to withdraw the petition. The writ petition was dismissed as withdrawn, with liberty as prayed for.
