Decided: 12 June 2026
Disposal: Allowed To be withdrawn
Bench: MADHAV JAMDAR

Holding

A writ petition may be withdrawn at the petitioner's request, and the court may permit its withdrawal and dispose of the petition.

Summary

The petitioner, Sonali, filed a writ petition (No.1300 of 2024) in the Bombay High Court against respondents Sushma R. Adelkar and an unnamed second respondent. The petition was filed in the civil appellate jurisdiction and was signed digitally by the petitioner. Counsel for the petitioner, Mr. Gulabrao Awasarmol together with Mr. Pawan S. Dabhade and Mr. Anand Awasarmol, moved before the court seeking to withdraw the writ petition. The court considered whether a petitioner may unilaterally withdraw a pending writ petition. Finding no legal impediment, the court allowed the withdrawal and ordered the petition to be disposed of. Consequently, the writ petition was withdrawn and the matter was closed.

Issues considered
