Bombay High Court

YUVRAJ BALASAHEB GHAWTEversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND ORS

Decided: 27 August 2026
Disposal: Allowed To be withdrawn

Holding

The Court held that leave to withdraw the petition may be granted and therefore disposed of the petition as withdrawn.

Summary

The petitioner, Yuvraj Balasaheb Ghawate, filed a writ petition in the Bombay High Court seeking relief. After the Supreme Court delivered its judgment in Sujal Vishwas Attavar & Anr. v. State of Maharashtra & Ors., the petitioner’s counsel requested leave to withdraw the petition. The Court considered whether it could grant such leave. Relying on procedural law and the precedent that a party may withdraw a petition with the Court’s permission, the judges granted the request. Consequently, the writ petition was disposed of as withdrawn.
