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

                                         writ petition and seeks to withdraw it with liberty to
                                         approach appropriate forum at appropriate stage.

                                         4. In view of the above, this writ petition is dismissed as
                                         withdrawn with the aforesaid liberty.
