Singhvi, C.J. This appeal is directed against order dated 20-9-2006 passed by the learned Single Judge in Writ Petition No. 19527 of 2006, whereby he dismissed the writ petition filed by the appellant for quashing the forfeiture of bid security amount. After arguing the case for sometime, learned counsel for the appellant made a request that his client may be permitted to withdraw this appeal along with the writ petition with liberty to avail remedy by filing civil suit. In our opinion, the request made by the learned counsel is reasonable and merits acceptance. Hence, this appeal as also Writ Petition No.19527 of 2006 are dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to the appellant to avail remedy by filing civil suit. As a sequel to dismissal of the appeal, WAMP No. 463 of 2007 filed by the appellant is disposed of as infructuous. G.S. SINGHVI, CJ March 22, 2007 C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY, J ks
