In view of this admitted position, the learned counsel seeks withdrawal of the writ petition with liberty to his client to avail the revisional remedy before the District Collector, East Godavari District, Kakinada. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed as withdrawn with liberty in terms of the prayer made. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.36750 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) Date: 22.11.2010 VGB
