Disposal: DISPOSED OFF
Bench: N B SURYAWANSHI VAISHALI PATIL JADHAV

Holding

The High Court may allow the withdrawal of a writ petition when the petitioner seeks it and no prejudice is caused.

Summary

The petitioner, Sanvar Baig Shabbir Baig, filed Writ Petition No. 4575 of 2020 in the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, seeking relief against the State of Maharashtra and others. The petitioner, through counsel D. K. Dagadkhair, later requested permission to withdraw the petition. The respondents, represented by Advocate S. R. Wakale, AGP for the State, opposed no objection to the withdrawal. The Court examined its inherent power to allow a party to withdraw a writ petition, noting that such discretion is exercised when no prejudice is caused to the respondents or the public interest. The Court found no impediment to granting the withdrawal and therefore permitted it. Consequently, the writ petition was disposed of as withdrawn.
