Dated this the 6th day of January 2021 This writ petition challenging Ext.P2 was filed at the time when the Debt Recovery Tribunal was not functioning due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Reserving the liberty of the petitioner to move the DRT for appropriate reliefs, this writ petition is permitted to be dismissed as withdrawn.
