Holding

Summary

The petitioner, Siddhi, filed a writ petition before the High Court of Bombay seeking relief. The petitioner later approached the Court requesting permission to withdraw the petition in order to pursue appropriate proceedings elsewhere. The primary issue before the Court was whether it could grant leave for the petitioner to withdraw the writ petition. The Court examined its inherent jurisdiction to allow withdrawal of a petition and found no impediment to granting such leave. Consequently, the Court granted leave to withdraw the petition. The writ petition was thereafter disposed of as withdrawn, with liberty as prayed.
