Mr. Ashok Singh, learned Counsel for the Petitioner relied on order of 5 March 2024 disposing of Writ Petition No. 2678 of 2023 in the case of M/s. Revamp Creations LLP Vs Union of India & Anr. Further, on instructions, he submits that leave may be granted to withdraw these Petitions with liberty to seek appropriate documents from the concerned authority which may be relevant in the adjudication of the Appeal which the Petitioners propose to file.
