Counsel for appellants submitted that the order has been passed on an incorrect premise that written statements of all defence witnesses were on record, whereas, factually, only sixth defendant has filed. Therefore, counsel seeks leave to withdraw the appeals with liberty to file a review petition. 3. Ms.Deepika Murali states that, if the court is inclined to grant the request, then all the rights and contentions of the respondents should be kept open. 4. Appeals are dismissed as withdrawn, with liberty as prayed for. All rights and contentions are kept open. We further clarify that we have __________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis O.S.A.Nos.214 and 215 of 2021 not expressed any view as to: (a) whether a review is maintainable; (b) review should be entertained; (c) review is within time; and (d) merits of the matter. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, interim applications stand closed. (K.R.SHRIRAM, C.J.)
