Holding
The court allowed the petitioners to withdraw the petition, disposing of the case without addressing its merits.
Summary
The petitioners filed a special civil application seeking relief against the Government of India and another respondent. The court directed the petitioners to make individual representations before the local office of Respondent No.1, with a promise that the representations would be considered within a reasonable period. Respondent No.1 raised no objection to this proposal. Subsequently, the petitioner's counsel sought and was granted permission to withdraw the petition, and the court clarified that it had not examined the merits of the case. The petition was therefore disposed of as withdrawn, with an additional direction that any representations made should be decided within three months of receipt.
