Headnote:The petitioner approached the court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India challenging a provisional seniority list issued via circular dated 16-08-2023 by the 5th respondent, alleging it to be illegal, arbitrary, and in violation of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India, as well as contrary to previous court orders and society bye-laws. The primary issue was whether the issuance of the provisional seniority list was a colourable exercise of power. However, before the court could delve into the merits of the case or the ratio decidendi, the petitioner sought to withdraw the petition. The Writ Petition is disposed of as withdrawn.
