Heard Mr. Bras de Sa, the learned Counsel on behalf of the petitioner and Ms. Coutinho, the learned Govt. Advocate on behalf of the respondents. Shri Bras de Sa has placed in our hands an Order dated 6 th April, 2005, passed by the Child Welfare Committee, by which the custody of the minor Bachalal Amritlal has been handed over to Shri Vishnu Kumar Chourasiya, a friend of the petitioner. Consequently the Principal of St. Anthony's High School has handed over custody of the said minor to the said Shri Vishnu Kumar Chourasiya. Shri Bras de Sa 2 assures us that the minor will continue attending St. Anthony's High School, Monte de Guirim in the next academic year as well. Shri Bras de Sa, therefore, submits that in view of the said orders passed by the Child Welfare Committee, as well as the Principal/Headmaster of St. Anthony's High School, nothing survives in the petition. He, therefore, seeks leave to withdraw the petition. Consequently, the petition shall stand dismissed as withdrawn. A .P. LAVANDE, J. N.A. BRITTO, J. ssm
