For petitioner Mr. A. Venkatesan ORDER [made by M. SUNDAR, J.] After some arguments, Mr. A. Venkatesan, learned counsel on record for the writ petitioner, realising that captioned 'writ petition' (hereinafter 'WP' for the sake of brevity) should be filed as Public Interest Litigation (PIL) as writ petitioner is espousing the cause of about 200 families, sought leave of this Court to withdraw the captioned WP but made a plea to preserve all the rights and contentions of the writ petitioner to file a PIL on the same subject matter. This request is acceded to. We add that it is open to any other person concerned for the matter to file a PIL, if so advised and if so desired. In other words, withdrawal of the captioned WP by the writ petitioner will not come in the way of any other person espousing the cause by filing a PIL. A scanned reproduction of the endorsement made by learned counsel for writ petitioner in the case file is as follows: Page Nos.2/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P. No.13389 of 2025 2. In the light of the narrative thus far, captioned WP is disposed of as withdrawn/closed albeit with preservation of rights and contentions of writ petitioner and/or anyone concerned for the matter to file a PIL on the same cause of action. There shall be no order as to costs. (M.S., J.) (K.G.T., J.) 17.04.2025 cad Index : Yes/No NC : Yes/No Page Nos.3/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P. No.13389 of 2025 M.SUNDAR, J. and K.
