Sri Sai Nagar Owners Welfare v. The Member Secretary

ORDER (made by M. SUNDAR, J.) After some arguments, Ms. Shoba Srikanth, learned counsel on record for writ petitioner, sought leave of this Court to withdraw the captioned 'writ petition ' [hereinafter 'WP' for the sake of brevity]. Scanned reproduction of endorsement made by learned counsel in the case file is as follows:

¶2Learned counsel made a request to preserve all the rights and contentions of writ petitioner and/or any other similarly placed person(s) to come to this Court with similar/same prayer or for any other prayer on the same subject matter.

¶3We accede to this request and preserve the rights and contentions of writ petitioner and/or any other similarly placed person(s) as the withdrawal became necessary owing to Real Estate Regulatory Authority's order dated 30.04.2025 on which the mandamus prayer is inter alia predicated, has not been filed.

¶4In the light of the narrative thus far, captioned WP stands disposed of as closed/withdrawn, albeit with preservation of rights and contentions of writ petitioner in the aforesaid manner. There shall be no order as to costs. (M.S., J.) (T.V.K., J.)
