Sai Ram Goud, learned counsel for the petitioner, submitted that in view of the proceedings in Rc.No.A2/5/2008, dated 08.04.2008 by which additional trees were allotted to the petitioner society, the relief claimed in the writ petition relating to the said aspect no longer survives for consideration. He further submitted that an appeal is filed against grant of TFT licences in favour of third parties and that the same is pending before respondent No.1. The learned counsel therefore submitted that the petitioner may be permitted to withdraw the writ petition with liberty to the petitioner to pursue the said appeal and avail further remedies with regard to its claim for grant of B-licence, depending upon the outcome of the appeal pending before respondent No.1. The request of the learned counsel for the petitioner is accepted and the writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn with liberty in terms of the prayer made. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition as withdrawn, WPMP.No.3761 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is also dismissed. __________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 31.08.2010.
