No.10814/2022, a copy of which is produced at Annexure-C.

Upon conclusion of arguments, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the order at Annexure-D has already been implemented and the petitioner does not wish to pursue any grievance in this regard. It is further submitted that the petitioner intends to withdraw the present writ petition unconditionally. 3. In light of the petitioner's intention to withdraw the writ petition, this Court takes note of the contentions urged by respondent No.4 in the statement of objections, particularly the assertion that the petitioner has already been allotted two properties namely a residential house and a portion of garden land towards her legitimate share, and as such, her present request seeking mutation of her name with respect to the property in question cannot be entertained or adjudicated in these proceedings under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:21234 WP No. 34084 of 2024 4. In view of the submissions made, the prayer of the petitioner to withdraw the writ petition is allowed. Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed as withdrawn.
