Held

The reasoning is based on the petitioner's submission that the petition lacked necessary specifics. The ratio decidendi is that a party can withdraw a petition with liberty to refile if it is found to be lacking in essential details, provided the court grants such liberty. The pending application for exemption was also disposed of.
