In view of such transfer and subsequent registration, the grievance sought to be raised in the present appeal substantially overlaps with the issues involved in CRA No. 378/2026 already pending before this Court. 4 In light of the aforesaid factual and procedural developments, and in order to avoid multiplicity of proceedings and any potential conflict of orders, learned counsel for the appellant seeks leave of this Court to withdraw the present appeal. 5 Learned counsel appearing for the respondents, have no objection to the prayer made on behalf of the appellant. 6 Accordingly, the present appeal is dismissed as withdrawn.
