The contention is that since petitioner has already undergone the default sentence recovery proceedings against him are not valid. After arguing the matter for some time learned counsel for petitioner has sought permission to withdraw the petition without prejudice to other rights if any of petitioner. I have heard learned Public Prosecutor also. In the circumstances stated, this petition is dismissed as withdrawn without prejudice to other rights if any of petitioner.
