Bombay High Court

ADITYA EDUCATION TRUST AND ANOTHERSversusTHE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND ANOTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The Court held that a writ petition may be withdrawn with its leave and therefore permitted the withdrawal.

Summary

The petitioners, Aditya Education Trust and others, filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, challenging certain actions of the State of Maharashtra. After several months, the petitioners, through their counsel, sought the Court's permission to withdraw the writ petition. The primary issue before the Court was whether it could grant leave for the petitioners to withdraw the pending writ petition. The Court examined the procedural rule that a petition may be withdrawn with its leave, noting no prejudice to the respondents. Accordingly, the Court allowed the withdrawal, recorded the communication dated 10 September 2026 as Annexure X, and ordered the petition to be withdrawn and disposed of.
