O R D E R
[Order of the Court was made by M.SUNDAR, J.,] After some arguments, Mr.R.Agilesh, learned counsel on record for writ petitioner sought leave of this Court to withdraw the captioned 'Writ Petition' {hereinafter 'WP' for the sake of brevity, convenience and clarity} but made a plea to preserve all rights and contentions of writ petitioner qua O.S.No.78 of 2024 on the file of the Additional District Munsif Court, Tindivanam. To be noted, writ petitioner is D5 in O.S.No.78 of 2024. Learned counsel submits that writ petitioner in his capacity as D5 has already taken out an application under Order VII Rule 11 Sub-Rule (d) of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (5 of 1908) seeking rejection of plaint inter alia on the ground that there is specific plaint averment that the suit property belongs to the Government. We express no opinion on the same, as the matter will now fall for consideration before learned Additional District Munsif, Tindivanam.
2. Learned counsel for writ petitioner has made an endorsement in the case file and a scanned reproduction of the same is as follows: Page Nos.3/6
