P (C) No. 36182 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 9th December, 2008. J U D G M E N T The petitioners are aggrieved by the move by the 2nd respondent to consider an application for starting a cemetery by the 4th respondent. The petitioners seek a direction to the 2nd respondent to stop further proceedings to grant permission for construction of the cemetery by the 4th respondent. But, at the same time, the petitioners admit that the 2nd respondent does not have powers to take a decision as to whether a licence for running a cemetery should be granted or not. That power vests with the 1st respondent-District Collector. The petitioners have filed Ext. P8 representation before the 1st respondent in the matter. In the above circumstances, counsel for the petitioners seeks permission to withdraw this writ petition without prejudice to the right of the petitioners to pursue Ext. P8 appropriately. Permission is granted and the writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn with the above liberty. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [True copy] P.S to Judge.
