[1] After some arguments, Mr. Tungrei Ngakang, learned counsel on record for the writ appellants sought leave of this Court to withdraw the captioned Writ Appeal (WA) and the captioned Miscellaneous Case (MC) thereat and learned counsel made a further plea to preserve all rights and contentions of the WA appellants/MC applicants to move a suitable MC before Hon’ble Single Bench in the pending writ petition being WP(C) No. 543 of 2026.

[3] Before concluding, though obvious, we make it clear that if the appellants/MC applicants in captioned WA/MC file a fresh MC in the pending writ petition i.e., WP(C) No. 543 of 2026, Hon’ble Single Bench will consider the same on its own merits and in accordance with law untrammeled by instant withdrawal order.
