The impugned orders would reveal that the authorities issued notice to the petitioner and they have in fact published a show cause notice in Kerala Koumudi Daily dated 27.7.1995. One of the reasons assigned therein was that though a notice was issued to the petitioner in his Bangalore address that was returned with the endorsement that the addressee was not in the station. Considering the contention raised in the writ petition the he was, in fact, available at Bangalore, a direction was issued to the petitioner to make available a copy of the pass port possessed by him pertaining to the period in question. The petitioner produced the photocopy of the passport which would reveal that the petitioner was not actually available in India. WPC No. 19617/2010 When faced with such a situation, the petitioner sought for permission to withdraw this writ petition. Permission is granted. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn. Sd/- C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE jma //true copy// P.A to Judge
