Summary

The petitioners, Sanjay Kesarinath Bhoir and another, filed a writ petition in the Bombay High Court.

The petitioners, through counsel Ms. Sneha V. Agrawal and Ms. Shweta Rathod of Elixir Legal Services, applied for leave to withdraw. The Court considered whether it has the authority to allow a petition to be withdrawn at the petitioners' request. The Court held that it possesses the inherent power to permit withdrawal of a writ petition when the petitioners request it. Consequently, the Court granted liberty to the petitioners, permitting the withdrawal and disposal of the writ petition.
