Learned Standing Counsel for the Bank on instructions submits that the secured asset is in fact registered with Central Registry of Securitisation Asset Reconstruction and Security Interest of India but by mistake door number etc., relating to the secured asset was wrongly mentioned in the Central Registry of Securitisation Asset Reconstruction and Security Interest of India and they are taking steps to rectify the said defects and would submit that thereafter, they will issue fresh notice under Section 13(2) of the Act by withdrawing the earlier notice issued under Section 13(2) of the Act which is now questioned in this writ petition. 4. Therefore, recording the above submissions of the learned Standing Counsel for the Bank, as it is stated that they are withdrawing the impugned notice under Section 13(2) of the Act and that they intend to issue fresh notice and proceed further, the Writ Petition is closed.
