The claim in this application is to compute the period of service rendered in the Bihar State Food & Civil Supplies Corporation before absorption in the Food and Commerce Department for purposes of grant of A.C.P. Counsel for the State takes an objection that the denial to compute that period into consideration for purposes of A.C.P. was passed in light of the A.C.P. Rules. Under the A.C.P. Rules, 2003 which are statutory in nature, there is no challenge to the Rules. As long as the Rules stand the petitioners are 2 not entitled to relief contrary to the Rules. Leave is then sought to withdraw the writ application to pursue appropriate remedies as the petitioners may be advised. The application is dismissed as withdrawn. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
