A petitioner may unconditionally withdraw a writ petition through a conscious decision by counsel, resulting in the dismissal of the petition and the disposal of all associated pending interlocutory applications.

Headnote:The present petition involves a request for withdrawal of a writ petition filed under writ jurisdiction. The counsel for the petitioners, upon conscious consideration, applied for the withdrawal of the matter and undertook not to seek any review or modification of the subsequent order. The core issue addressed is whether a petitioner is entitled to withdraw a writ petition unconditionally. The court, noting the conscious decision expressed by the counsel, held that such a withdrawal is permissible and that the orderly administration of justice allows for the disposal of the petition as withdrawn, consequently rendering all pending interlocutory applications inoperative. The final outcome is that the Writ Petition is dismissed as withdrawn.
