[2] Captioned afore-referred MCs have been filed with Condonation of Delay (CoD) prayers. [3] When the captioned matters were taken up, it came to light that inter-alia the dates of filing of the writ appeals have been given erroneously and consequent error in computation of length of delay has crept in qua captioned MCs. [4] Faced with the above situation, Mr. Anjan Prasad Sahu, learned counsel on record for MCs applicants sought leave of this Court to withdraw captioned MCs but made a plea to preserve all the rights and contentions of MCs applicants to file CoD applications afresh after making requisite course correction/s and he also sought preservation of rights and contentions of MCs applicants to do so. Leave with liberty/preservation of rights as sought for is granted. [5] Learned counsel on record for MCs applicants has made endorsements in the case files qua withdrawal and a scanned reproduction of the same are as follows: MC(WA)No.41 of 2026 MC(WA)No.42 of 2026 [6] In the light of the narrative thus far, captioned MCs are disposed of as withdrawn/closed albeit with preservation of rights and contentions of MCs applicants and liberty to file CoD MCs again (obviously after making course corrections) in the aforesaid manner. There shall be no order as to costs. JUDGE CHIEF JUSTICE John Kom
