STANDARD INDUSTRIES LIMITEDversusTHE EXECUTIVE ENGINEER BUILDING PROPOSALS

Decided: 18 August 2026
Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The petition is disposed of as withdrawn upon the petitioner's request.

Summary

Standard Industries Limited filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court challenging certain actions of the Executive Engineer, Building Proposals and others. The petitioner, through counsel Mr. Parth Turakhia, later filed a praecipe on 13 August 2026 seeking withdrawal of the petition. The court noted the withdrawal request and considered whether it could entertain the petition thereafter. Relying on procedural rules that allow a petitioner to withdraw a writ petition at any stage, the court accepted the withdrawal. Consequently, the petition was disposed of as withdrawn on 18 August 2026.

Issues considered
