Learned counsel for the petitioner states that he wants to withdraw the petition with a view to approach the appropriate forum under Section 14 of the Slum Rehabilitation Act. Since the petitioner wants to withdraw the petition to take out other appropriate proceedings, permission to withdraw the petition is granted. We express no opinion on the merits of the case as well as on the question of delay and latches. 2. However, according to the learned counsel for the petitioner, since without hearing the petitioner the notification in question has been issued and since no notice was served upon him, his fundamental rights are violated and delay and latches should not come in his way. We do not express any opinion on this issue and it is for the appropriate ssp 2 WP 1768 of 2010 authority to take this aspect into consideration. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of as withdrawn. ( MRS.MRIDULA BHATKAR, J.) ( P.B.MAJMUDAR, J.)
