Such attitude amounts to forum shopping. 5.To avoid any conflicting decisions, the petitioner is permitted to withdraw this writ petition, with liberty to approach the Principal Bench of this Court. He has also made an endorsement to that effect.

6.Recording the said endorsement, this writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn.
