1. Heard learned Advocate Mr. Subramaniam Iyer with learned Advocate Mr. Vinod Pandya for the petitioners and learned Senior Advocate Mr. Anshin Desai with learned Advocate Mr. Parth Contractor for the respondents. At the outset learned Advocate Mr. Iyer would submit, that under instructions of petitioners of Special Civil Application No. 15094 of 2020, that the petitioner does not seek to contest the petition and therefore he may be permitted to withdraw the same.
