RESPONDENT: ---------------------- THE CHAIRMAN AND MANAGING DIRECTOR, AIR INDIA LTD., AIR INDIA BUILDING, NARIMANPOINT, MUMABI - 400021. BY ADV. SRI.JOSEPH KODIANTHARA, SC, ADV. SRI.TERRY V.JAMES. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 17/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C).No.9774 of 2007 ------------------------- Dated this the 17th day of January, 2008. JUDGMENT The petitioner has been prosecuting the writ petition in person. He has filed an application on 17.1.2008 seeking to withdraw the writ petition. I have gone through the said petition, which also contains a repeated assertion by the petitioner that he is entitled to the reliefs prayed for in the writ petition. The prayer is to the following effect: “If the High Court of Kerala is pleased to agree and concur with the rulings of the Supreme Court, the relief sought for now may be pleased, if not, please allow me to withdraw the writ petition. If there is confusion and delay due to distance of time, it is surely is not my making.” 2. I have gone through the writ petition as well and after taking note of the earlier judgment of this court dealing with the same aspect in W.P.(C) No.11257/05 as also W.A.No.2011/06, in my view, even otherwise, the petitioner's claim is not W.P.(C).NO.9774/07 :: 2 :: sustainable. Nevertheless, the petitioner has sought for withdrawal of this writ petition. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn. Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE sk/ //true copy//
