Summary

The petitioner filed Writ Petition No. 735 of 2015 in the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench. Subsequently, on 13 August 2026, the petitioner issued a written instruction indicating a desire to discontinue the proceedings. The court recorded this instruction and, after considering the withdrawal, dismissed the writ petition as withdrawn. No substantive merits of the petition were adjudicated.
