% 21.04.2017 1.

An objection is taken by Mr.Amit Mahajan, learned counsel for respondent No.1 and Mr.Vikas Malik, learned counsel for respondent No.2, that the writ petition Civil No.4864/2014 was not maintainable in the Delhi High Court in as much as this Court has no territorial jurisdiction with regard to the subject matter thereof. 2.

In view thereof, learned counsel for the petitioner, on instructions from Mr.G.N.Jain, attorney of the appellant, prays that the impugned order dated 1st March, 2016 may be set aside and the writ petition may be permitted to be withdrawn with liberty to invoke an appropriate remedy in a competent jurisdiction or before an appropriate authority.

3.

This appears to be a fair request. In view thereof, the order dated 1st March, 2016 passed in WPC No.4864/2014 is hereby set

aside and quashed.

4.

The request of the appellant is accepted and the writ petition (Civil) No. 4864/2014 and present appeal are permitted to be withdrawn with liberty, as prayed for.

The appeal is disposed of in the above terms. Dasti.
