2. Aforementioned request acceded to but it is made clear that if the writ petitioner (so advised and if he so desires) moves the jurisdictional Joint Commissioner in this regard either under Section 63(e) of TN HR & CE Act or under any other provision, the same shall be considered on its own merits and in accordance with law. This order will neither impede nor serve as an impetus in such a legal drill.
3. Captioned writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn albeit preserving the rights of the writ petitioner in the aforesaid manner. No costs.
