Anupama Singh, learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel for the State-respondents, and Sri Mohan Singh, learned counsel for respondent No. 4. 2. Smt. Anupama Singh, learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel for the State-respondents, on the basis of instructions, has stated that the development of cremation grounds through the process of selection in rural areas is regulated under a Government Order issued on 26.05.2016. In the present case, however, the petitioner has not established that the norms as prescribed under the Government Order were satisfied. That apart, the relevant considerations, which are decisive for such a development, have also not been disclosed in the present writ petition. In absence of any premise set out in the writ petition, it is difficult to appreciate as to why the preference may be accorded to the place, for which, relief is sought herein. The development at the identified place stands in accordance with the relevant Government Order. Therefore, no interference is called for in the present writ petition. 3. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner says that he may be permitted to withdraw this writ petition and prays that the same may be dismissed as withdrawn. 4. In the background of what has been recorded above, the writ petition instituted in public interest is dismissed as withdrawn.
