Held
The Court allowed the application for withdrawal of the writ petition. The reasoning was based on the fact that the application was not opposed by the respondents.

The Court's decision was to permit the withdrawal, leading to the dismissal of the writ petition as withdrawn. The ratio decidendi is that a writ petition can be dismissed as withdrawn if the applicant seeks withdrawal and the respondents do not oppose it. No specific issues related to GST law were decided, as the petition was withdrawn before substantive arguments could be made on merits.

The petitioner sought to withdraw the petition, and the respondents did not oppose this application. The Court had to decide whether to permit the withdrawal of the writ petition.
