                                         1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, Ms. Kamini Pandey,
                                         learned counsel for the respondent no.4 and learned AGA for

                                         2. At the very outset, learned A.G.A. has pointed out that in the
                                         instant case, the investigation has already been concluded and a
                                         final report has been forwarded in favour of the petitioner on

                                         3. Learned counsel for the petitioner could not dispute the
                                         aforesaid fact but states that he does not want to press this writ
                                         petition and seeks to withdraw it.

                                         withdrawn.
