Deshpande Sr. adv. for petitioner. Shri Ravi Kadam, Advocate General for respondent -state Shri S.P. Dharmadhikari, Sr.Advocate for respondent no.5 CORAM:S.A.BOBDE & SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK, JJ. DATE : 2 nd March, 2010 Learned counsel for the petitioner moved this application for amendment which proposed extensive amendments to the petition. Learned counsel for respondent no.5 – Shri S.P. Dharmadhikari, opposes the application for amendment interi- alia on the ground that the Maharashtra Water Resources Regulatory Authority Act 2005 [hereinafter referred to as the Water Act] does not apply to the situation involved in the present case. Learned Advocate General, repeated the objection. Having regard to the nature of the amendment, the scope and width of the Water Act, we consider it appropriate 2 to allow the amendments. However, we find that if the amendments are allowed, it would extensively change the petition in the sense that many paragraphs would be added, prayers would be substituted and this would naturally necessitate adding many unwieldy and inconvenient slips to the paper book. In the circumstances to avoid this, Shri K.H. Deshpande, learned Senior Advocate seeks leave to withdraw the petition with liberty to file fresh petition as may be advised with liberty as above. Writ petition stands disposed of as withdrawn. JUDGE JUDGE smp
