Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The High Court may, at its discretion, grant leave to withdraw a writ petition and dispose of it as withdrawn.

Summary

Petitioner Tadvi Ahemododdin Wahidoddin filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, seeking leave to withdraw the petition. The petitioner requested that the court allow the withdrawal and grant liberty to pursue any appropriate legal remedy thereafter. The respondent State of Maharashtra opposed the withdrawal. The Court examined its inherent jurisdiction to permit a petitioner to withdraw a writ petition under its discretionary powers. It held that there is no legal impediment to granting such leave unless the withdrawal would prejudice the public interest or the rights of the respondents. Consequently, the Court granted leave to withdraw and disposed of the petition as withdrawn with liberty as prayed for.
