A preliminary objection has been raised on behalf of the respondents to the lack of territorial jurisdiction of this Court to entertain the present application. Learned counsel for the petitioner sought to persuade the Court otherwise urging that prima facie satisfied for jurisdiction, the interim order had been passed in his favour on 25.5.2010. Unable to 2 satisfy the Court, leave is sought to withdraw the application for pursuing remedies before the appropriate forum and reserving the right to raise all issues with regard to the conduct of the respondents themselves as revealed in their counter affidavit, equity in favour of the petitioner more so in light of the interim order dated 25.5.2010. Since the Court holds that it lacks territorial jurisdiction there is no occasion for it to go into those aspects and which naturally shall fall for consideration by the Court of competent jurisdiction. The application is dismissed as withdrawn with the liberty as aforesaid for availing remedies before the appropriate forum. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
