The court allowed the withdrawal, noting that any future application would be examined by the lower court with a reasoned order, referencing the Supreme Court's decision in Kanchan Kumar v. State of Bihar. The court emphasized that withdrawal does not preclude the petitioners from raising their substantive grounds later. Consequently, the application was dismissed as withdrawn. The order was pronounced by Justice Sandeep Kumar.
