Oral Order 10/ Dated 23.09.2021
After some argument, learned counsel for the writ petitioner seeks leave to withdraw this writ petition, which is in the form of public interest.
Learned counsel appearing for the respondents do not have any
objection.
In the result, this writ application is dismissed as withdrawn, with liberty to the aggrieved individuals to approach the competent forum which may be available to them in law as we have not been persuaded to consider the issues concerned in a proceeding through PIL.
