It is further submitted that, during the course of the proceedings, the debit freeze has been removed and the petitioner is now able to operate the said bank account. In the circumstances, the relief sought in the writ petition has become infructuous. Hence, the petitioner seeks leave of this Hon'ble Court to withdraw the present petition in the interest of justice and equity."
3. Accepting the said memo and the submission of the counsel for the petitioner, petition is dismissed as withdrawn.
