2. Mr. Praveen Kumar, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner, upon reconsideration, wishes to withdraw the writ petition with liberty granted to the petitioner to file an appeal in accordance with law against the order impugned in this writ petition.
3. The impugned order is dated March 21, 2025 while the writ petition has been filed on June 30, 2025. This period is slightly more than the period provided for filing an appeal.
4. We have heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of petitioner who has explained the reasons for not having been able to file the appeal within the mandatory period of 90 days. The reasons explained are sufficient in our view and since it appears that the order was served and communicated to the petitioner in the first week of April, the benefit of doubt may be given to the petitioner.
5. Considering the aforesaid fact, we direct the petitioner to file an appeal Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Praveen Kumar Counsel for Respondent(s) : A.S.G.I., Dhananjay Awasthi, Krishna Agarawal, Ramesh Chandra Shukla Rinku Gupta .....Petitioner(s) Union Of India And 2 Others .....Respondent(s)
