Writ Petition Withdrawal | Single Petitioner’s Consent Cannot Bind Co-Petitioners Without Express Authorization : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court ruled that when multiple petitioners file a joint writ petition, the unilateral withdrawal by one petitioner does not extinguish the rights of others unless explicitly authorized. This upholds procedural fairness in collective litigation and ensures that co-petitioners retain their standing to pursue remedies even when others opt out, reinforcing the autonomy of individual legal claims within joint proceedings.
