Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that initially he had filed an application under Section 29A of the Act before the Commercial Court at Rajarhat, which was disposed of in view of the earlier 2 pronouncement of this Court, pursuant to which Section 29A applications were being entertained by this Court. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in view of the recent pronouncement of the Hon’ble Supreme Court designating the Commercial Court at Rajarhat as the Court under Section as the 2(1)(e) of the Act, the present petition is required to be filed before the said Commercial Court at Rajarhat. In view of the said, learned counsel for the petitioner seeks liberty to move an appropriate application before the Commercial Court at Rajarhat, so that application under Section 29A can be entertained in accordance with law. Learned counsel for the respondent agrees with the said submissions and states that the relevant Court in terms of Section 2(1)(e) of the Act, would be the Commercial Court at Rajarhat. In view of the above, the present petition is dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to the petitioner to approach the appropriate jurisdictional Court in accordance with law. (GAURANG KANTH, J.) S.
