But the petitioner has no case that the petitioner is in anyway aggrieved by the promotion given to the 4th respondent. That being so, this writ petition is in the nature of a public interest litigation. Since the Court is of that opinion, the learned counsel for the petitioner seeks permission to withdraw this writ petition without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to file a public interest litigation. Taking into account the facts and circumstances of the case, this writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to file a public interest litigation on the same cause of action, if the petitioner can file a public interest litigation in a service matter under law.
