CORAM : KISHORE C. SANT &
JITENDRA JAIN, JJ.
DATE : 4th SEPTEMBER, 2026
PER COURT :
1. After arguing the matter for some time and being apprised of
the view of this Court on merits, the learned advocate for the
petitioner seeks permission to withdraw the writ petition with liberty
to make an appropriate application afresh before the authorities. We
find no reason why such an application cannot be entertained by the
authorities without leave of the Court. However, if the petitioner is
willing to make any such application, this Court cannot preclude the
petitioner from doing so.
2. Writ Petition stands disposed off as withdrawn.
3. It is open for the petitioner to make an appropriate application
before the authorities, if so advised.
