Holding

The court allowed the withdrawal of the writ petition and disposed of it as withdrawn.

Summary

The petitioner, Prasad Atamram Karandikar, filed a writ petition in the Bombay High Court seeking relief against the respondent, Usha P. Pandit. During the proceedings, the petitioner’s counsel applied to withdraw the petition, stating that the parties had settled their dispute amicably. The court considered the application and, finding no objection from the respondent, permitted the withdrawal. Consequently, the writ petition was disposed of as withdrawn. No substantive merits of the original claim were adjudicated.
