O R D E R

[Order of the Court was made by DR.G.JAYACHANDRAN, J.] On perusal of the papers, we find no merit in this writ petition and it is a frivolous writ petition under the guise of public interest litigation. When this was pointed out to the learned counsel for the petitioner, he insisted that he has to make his submissions. Even after his submissions, we are not convinced that public interest is involved in this matter. Therefore, we decided

to dismiss this writ petition. However, while dictating the order, learned counsel for the petitioner sought leave of this Court to withdraw this writ petition. We are not inclined to grant permission to the learned counsel for the petitioner to withdraw this writ petition. Hence, this writ petition is dismissed with cost of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) payable by the petitioner to the Tamil Nadu State Legal Services Authority. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed. [G.J., J.] [K.K.R.K., J.] 05.12.2025 NCC :
