Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

Summary

The petitioner, Uttam Shankar Dhawale, had earlier filed a writ petition before the High Court of Bombay, Aurangabad Bench. Subsequently, the petitioner, through counsel, applied for leave to withdraw the petition. The sole issue before the court was whether the petitioner could be permitted to withdraw the writ petition. The court, exercising its inherent jurisdiction, noted that there is no legal impediment to allowing a party to withdraw a pending writ petition and that such discretion may be exercised in the interest of justice. Accordingly, the court granted leave to withdraw. The writ petition was consequently disposed of as withdrawn.
