                       1.        Learned Counsel for the Petitioner fairly submits
                       that there are certain infirmities in the Writ Petition, which
                       cannot be cured through an amendment Application. She
                       submits that the instant Writ Petition be disposed of as not
                       pressed and leave may be accorded to the Petitioner to
                       institute a fresh proceeding in accordance with law.



                       2.        Learned Counsel for the contesting Respondent has
                       no objection.



                       3.        Accordingly, Writ Petition is dismissed as not
                       pressed with liberty in the above terms.



                                                      1
