Faced with the above situation, Mr.M.Elango, learned counsel for writ petitioner sought leave of this Court to withdraw the captioned writ petition but made a plea to preserve all the rights and contentions of the writ petitioner to pursue a 'Public Interest Litigation' ['PIL']. Request acceded to.
3. The endorsement made by learned counsel in the case file is as follows:
4. In the light of the narrative thus far, captioned writ petition is disposed of as withdrawn/closed preserving all the rights and contentions of writ petitioner and/or any one concerned for that matter to file a PIL on the same cause of action /same subject. There shall be no order as to costs. (M.S.,J.) (K.G.T.,J.) 26.03.2025 gpa Page Nos.3/5
