At the request of Mr. Ajit Kenjale, learned Advocate for the Petitioner, this Petition was kept back for taking instructions from the Petitioner. At the time of rising of the Court at 7:35 p.m., none appeared on behalf of the Petitioner either physically or through VC mode and as such, by inadvertence, a common date in this matter was given, listing the matter on 26.10.2026. 2. After realizing that the present Petition was kept back for taking instructions from the Petitioner on 05.10.2026, the Registry placed this Petition today on the Production Board at Serial No. 501. 3. When this Petition was called out, neither the Petitioner nor the Advocate for the Petitioner were present in Court either physically or through VC mode. Perhaps, in view of the common date given in this Petition, the Advocate for the Petitioner is not present today. 4. To afford an opportunity to the Advocate for the Petitioner to appear, list this Petition on 09.10.2026.” osk 2 of 3 910-WP-762-2026 (CR).docx 3.

In view of the statement made by Mr. Ajit Kenjale, learned Advocate for the Petitioner, leave is granted to withdraw the present Petition, with liberty as prayed. 6. The Writ Petition No. 762 of 2026 is disposed of as withdrawn. [ ASHWIN D.
