During the pendency of writ appeal No.1574 of 2008, the departmental appeal filed by the appellant has been decided by an order dated 18.12.2008. The learned advocate appearing for the appellant seeks permission to withdraw the writ petition as well as the writ appeal, so as to challenge the validity of the aforesaid order passed by the respondent-employer. Permission for withdrawal of writ appeal as well as writ petition is granted. Needless to say that the interim order passed in writ petition No.19579 of 2008 would not come in the way of appellant as the petition, which might be filed by the appellant would be considered on its merits. Writ appeal and writ petition are disposed of as withdrawn. _________________ ANIL R. DAVE, CJ 22nd December 2008 ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J ajr
