A party may withdraw a writ petition without prejudice, preserving the right to refile on the same cause.

Headnote:This case involves a writ petition wherein the petitioner sought withdrawal of the petition while maintaining the right to re-approach the court on the same cause of action. The court granted the permission requested and dismissed the petition. The primary finding was the recognition of the retention of rights for future claims. The core issue framed was the ability to withdraw without prejudice. It was held that a party may withdraw a petition and not lose the right to refile based on the same reasons. The result of the judgment states that the writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn.
