This Court after hearing the learned Advocates for the petitioner and respondents, prima facie opined that the application seems to be a premature one. Probably the order referred above was passed in the light of the orders passed in Suo Moto Public Interest Litigation No.3 of 2020 by the Hon’ble Supreme Court. It appears that the extension enjoyed by the respondent came to an end pursuant to the order passed in the year 2023. 4. In view of this, Mr. N. K. Tungar, learned Advocate for the petitioner submits that he will file a fresh application bringing on record the subsequent developments and would also convince the Authority that the circumstances referred to in the impugned order no longer survive in the light of the subsequent developments and passage of time. Thus, he seeks leave to withdraw the petition with liberty to file such application. 5. Leave granted. Writ Petition stands disposed of as withdrawn. The petitioner is at liberty to file fresh application seeking the same relief as was sought earlier by bringing on record the subsequent developments in facts. 3 939-wp-15756-2023 6. If such application is filed, the Authority shall consider the same on its own merits and in the light of the subsequent developments.
