Holding
The Court held that the petitioner may withdraw the criminal writ petition with liberty to file a fresh petition.
Summary
Dr. Pranita Patil Kadam filed a criminal writ petition before the Bombay High Court. After the charge-sheet was filed against her, she sought permission to withdraw the petition and to file a fresh one. The petitioner’s counsel, Mr. Dheeraj Patil, argued that the filing of the charge-sheet rendered the petition redundant. The Court examined whether a petitioner may withdraw a criminal writ petition after a charge-sheet is filed. The Court granted the petitioner's request, allowing the withdrawal with liberty to file a fresh petition. Consequently, the petition was disposed of as withdrawn.
