NISHANT NARENDRA SHAKADWIPIversusRAGHUNATH BANSILAL MALPANI AND ORS.

Decided: 25 August 2026
Disposal: Disposed Off

Holding

The Court allowed the withdrawal of the writ petitions and ordered their disposal.

Summary

Petitioner Nishant Narendra Shakadwipi filed writ petitions (Nos. 650 and 652 of 2018) in the High Court of Bombay. After the petitions were taken on board, the petitioner sought to withdraw them, submitting an email dated 18 August 2026 requesting withdrawal. The petitioner’s counsel, Mr. Shubham Hundia (on behalf of Sriraj Menon), applied for leave to withdraw. The Court examined whether it could allow such withdrawal at that stage. Finding no impediment, the Court permitted the withdrawal and ordered the petitions to be disposed of.

Issues considered

Whether a writ petition already taken on board may be withdrawn at the request of the petitioner?
