911.AS.WP.141.2026.odt preferring a composite Writ Petition. Hence, we grant leave to withdraw this Petition and file a fresh Petition.
4. In view of the above, this Petition is disposed off with liberty as is prayed for.
5. Considering the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Hindustan Lever Ltd vs. Ashok Vishnu Kate & Ors. 1996 AIR 285, interim relief restraining the authority from effecting the Disciplinary Action, cannot be granted at this stage. In the event, the Petitioner prefers a fresh Petition and succeeds, needless to state that he would be entitled for all benefits, including consequential monetary benefits.
