After some arguments, Mr. Kant, learned counsel for the petitioners, has drawn my attention to an order of the Division Bench dated 16.02.2026 passed in LPA 71/2026, wherein paragraph No. 8 reads as under:- “8. The Respondent No.1- Institution has not challenged the Public Notice dated 12.09.2025 requiring all Institutions seeking transition to apply afresh. Admittedly, the Respondent No.1- Institution did not submit its application pursuant to the Public Notice dated 12.09.2025 prior to the last date i.e. prior to 05.10.2025.” 3. On my query as to whether the petitioners in the present case have challenged the public notice dated 12.09.2025, he fairly states that the petitioners have not so done. 4. He seeks liberty to withdraw the present petition and file a fresh petition on the same cause of action, including to challenge the applicability as well as the vires of Public Notices dated 25.08.2025 and 12.09.2025. 5. Granting the said liberty, the present petition is dismissed as withdrawn. 6. The Court has not examined the merits/ demerits of the case.
