Judgment Basheer, J: Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the election scheduled to be held to the Society on May 11, 2008 is not likely to be free and fair. 2. Having perused the materials available on record, we do not find any reason to assume that the respondents will not discharge their statutory duties in a proper manner. 3. Learned counsel submits that the petitioner is not intending to pursue the matter any further, if the election is held freely and fairly. He therefore seeks permission to withdraw the writ petition. Permission is granted. 4. Therefore the writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn, with liberty to the petitioner to pursue the matter at a later stage, if aggrieved about the conduct of the election. It shall be ensured by the respondents that free and fair election is held to the Society. A.K. Basheer Judge. V. Giri, Judge. an.
