The learned counsel appearing for the Petitioner tenders an application for deletion of the name first Petitioner with liberty to file a fresh petition for challenging the alleged action of inclusion of foreigners in ration cards without following due process of law. The said request deserves to be accepted. 2. As far as the second petitioner is concerned, his grievance is that names of certain foreigners were included in the ration card held by him without his consent and without following due process of law. 3. As far as this grievance of the second Petitioner is concerned, the learned Additional Government Advocate states that the Mamlatdar has already passed an order directing deletion of the names of the foreigners which were incorporated in the ration card. He states that an inquiry has been initiated by the Director of Civil Supplies against the concerned Government Officers who are found to have committed the default. 4. The annexures to the petition show that action has been initiated and F.I.R has been registered against the concerned including the second petitioner. 5. As there is already an order of deletion of the names of the foreigners incorporated in the ration card of the Petitioner and as an inquiry has already been initiated, it is not necessary to keep the petition pending at the instance of the second petitioner. Hence, we do not entertain the petition at this stage. Hence, we dispose of the petition by passing the following order: a) The first petitioner is permitted to withdraw the petition with liberty to file a fresh petition challenging the alleged action of inclusion of foreigners in the ration cards without following due process of law. b) As far as the grievance of the second petitioner is concerned, as appropriate action has already been initiated, the petition stands disposed of.
