The stand of respondents thus is though the petitioner is eligible for being appointed on compassionate ground but for the time being he cannot be offered appointment for lack of vacancies under 5% quota.

In view of the stand of the respondents, learned counsel for the petitioner seeks permission of this Court to withdraw the instant petition at this stage with liberty to approach this Court at appropriate stage for redressal of his grievance, if need so arise.
