Holding

The Court allowed the petitioner's request and disposed of the petition as withdrawn.

Summary

The High Court, on 20 March 2026, ordered a report from the competent authority, which was later submitted. Upon reviewing the report, the petitioner’s counsel found that no discrepancy existed. Consequently, the petitioner requested permission to withdraw the petition. The Court granted the withdrawal, disposed of the petition as withdrawn, discharged the notice, and ordered that the Rs.10,000 deposited by the petitioner be transferred to the Gujarat High Court Legal Services Authority, with no order as to costs.
