JUSTICE RAHUL BHARTI, JUDGE. ORDER 07.07.2026 1. The cause for which the eight petitioners are intending to maintain this writ petition may prima facie seem to be a genuine one but when they cannot relate it to themselves only and, thus, need to come in a representative writ petition by reference to the Residents of Nowgam, Rafiabad. 2. As such, the writ petition is allowed to be withdrawn with liberty to file fresh one in a representative capacity by following due compliance of the High Court Rules, 1999 and the Writ Proceeding Rules, 1997 under the aegis of Sr. No. 146 Supp. 2 which a representative writ petition is to be maintained.
