Holding

The court may, at its discretion, allow the withdrawal of a writ petition and therefore disposed of the petition as withdrawn.

Summary

M/s Arshi Builder and Developer, through its partner Dattatraya Devram Khandekar, filed Writ Petition No. 665 of 2023 in the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, challenging certain actions of the State of Maharashtra. The petitioner later submitted a communication dated 12 March 2026 seeking the court's permission to withdraw the writ petition. The primary issue before the court was whether it could grant permission for the petitioner to withdraw the pending writ petition. The bench, after noting the petitioner's request, exercised its inherent jurisdiction to allow the withdrawal. Accordingly, the court granted permission and ordered the writ petition to be disposed of as withdrawn. No substantive merits of the original petition were adjudicated.
