(Oral) While placing on record communication dated 09.05.2025, issued under the signatures of Executive Engineer for CE-RO MoRT&H, Shimla, Mr. T.S.Bhogal, learned counsel representing the petitioners, on instructions of petitioner, who is present in Court, states that since offer made by the Ministry for One Time Settlement under “Vivad se Vishwas” for the work in dispute has been accepted by the petitioner, he may be permitted to withdraw the ongoing Court case or litigation, enabling Ministry to process the case of the petitioner under aforesaid scheme. 2. Having perused aforesaid communication, which is taken on record, there appears to be merit in the contention of learned counsel for the petitioner. Petitioner, who has come present before this Court, states on oath before this Court that he of his own volition and without any external pressure intends to withdraw the present petition so that he can settle the dispute amicably with the respondents in terms of scheme, detailed hereinabove. His statement to this effect is taken on record. 3. In view of aforesaid facts, there appears to be no impediment in accepting the prayer made on behalf of petitioner for withdrawal of the case at hand. 4. Consequently, in view of the above, present petition is dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to file appropriate proceedings in appropriate Court of law, if petitioner still remains aggrieved. Applications, if any, stand disposed of. May 29, 2025 (Sandeep Sharma), (sunil) Judge 2
