The petition may be withdrawn with liberty to file a fresh petition.
Summary
The petitioner, Bajirao Maruti More, filed a criminal writ petition challenging certain actions of the State of Maharashtra. After the charge-sheet was filed in the underlying criminal case, the petitioner sought leave of the High Court to withdraw the writ petition and to file a fresh petition if desired. The petitioner’s counsel, Mr. Dheeraj Patil, argued that the filing of the charge-sheet rendered the writ petition redundant. The Court examined whether a writ petition could be withdrawn after the charge-sheet was filed. The Court granted the petitioner's request, allowing the withdrawal of the writ petition with liberty to file a fresh petition. Consequently, the petition was disposed of as withdrawn.
