The proceedings of the meeting dated 06.05.2025 was conducted subject to the result of the writ petition. Since the petitioner does not want to press the petition, the same stands dismissed as withdrawn. In view of the withdrawal, the question of the petitioner once again challenging the proceedings of the meeting dated 06.05.2025 does not arise. Consequently, the request for liberty is rejected.
