Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in the order dated 10.09.2025 (Annexure P/17), there is mention that the petitioner had not given her consent for her deputation at Swami Atmanand Government English School whereas, petitioner gave written consent which was not considered and therefore, the decision of the Committee at the Divisional Level under the Rationalization Policy, 2025 is erroneous.

After arguing for sometime, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he may be permitted to withdraw this writ petition at this stage with liberty to file afresh representation raising all the grounds as raised in this writ petition before the State Level Committee under the Rationalization Policy, 2025 and the concerned Committee be directed to consider and take decision on the representation at the earliest.
