After hearing progressed to some length, Mr. Pente, the petitioner appearing in-person, seeks leave to withdraw this writ petition. He, however, prays for an order on the Central Administrative Tribunal, Mumbai Bench, Mumbai (hereafter "the Tribunal", for short), where his original application (Original Application No. 586 of 2021) is pending, to dispose of the same in accordance with law as early as possible. 3.

We have perused the order dated December 9, 2021 passed by the Tribunal on the original application. While assigning cogent reasons to decline interim relief, the Tribunal has fixed January 14, 2022 for final arguments. 4.

In such view of the matter, we are of the opinion that no interference at this stage is called for. We also find that the Tribunal, conscious of the difficulties being faced by the petitioner, has already fixed an early date of hearing. We hope and trust that the Tribunal shall proceed to hear the parties finally on January 14, 2022 and make earnest endeavour to dispose of the original application in accordance with law, as early as possible thereafter.

5.

With these observations, the writ petition stands disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. (PRITHVIRAJ K. CHAVAN, J.) (CHIEF JUSTICE) Digitally signed by PRAVIN DASHARATH PANDIT Date:
