What did the court decide?
Permission to withdraw the writ petition without prejudice to the petitioner's right to approach the Local Authority, which is to consider the application afresh, independently on its merits, in accordance with the Rules/guidelines in force; the Ext.P6 rejection will not stand in the way of such consideration.
