25-wp6916.24.odt 2/2 renewal of the license, which has been favourably recommended by the Tahsildar Malegaon by his communication dated 13/09/2024, having accepted the monthly fees upto 30/08/2024 (Pg.18) as is indicated therefrom. The SDO, however by the communication dated 08/08/2024 has written to the Assistant Charity Commissioner, Washim making an enquiry in respect to the aims and objects of the petitioner. What is necessary to note, is that the licence (Pg.13) granted to the petitioner earlier in point of time indicates, that it has a registration No.Maharashtra/543/2014, dated 26/08/2014, which would indicate, that the said society has been registered under some Statute. That being the case, the petition at the behest of the petitioner would not be maintainable. In view of which, Mr.Kurekar, learned counsel for the petitioner, seeks permission to withdraw the petition with liberty to file a separate petition by the aforenamed society. Statement is accepted. The petition is dismissed as withdrawn with liberty as prayed for.
