Mr. Dixit accordingly seeks permission to withdraw this application with a liberty to approach the Tribunal for redressal of such grievance of these petitioners which remained unfilled because of delay on the part of the respondents in implementation of the order of the Tribunal, violation of which was alleged in the CCPA No. 75 of 2014. He submits that withdrawal of the contempt application may not prohibit the petitioners from questioning the correctness of communication dated 18.05.2017 (Annexure-16) purportedly issued in compliance of the order dated 27.02.2014 passed in CCPA No. 75 of 2014.
