Issue for consideration

¶32

Ratio / Principle

Recording counsel's submission that the respondent authorities had considered the petitioner's representation dated 18.06.2021 and entered the petitioner's name in the revenue records, and there being no objection from the Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, the Court permitted withdrawal and dismissed the writ petition as withdrawn, granting liberty to the petitioner to work out the remedies available under law, with no order as to costs, and directed that pending miscellaneous applications, if any, stand closed.
