These Writ Petitions are filed for a direction not to terminate the services of

the petitioners for want of Teachers Eligibility Test.

2.It is seen that the issue is in respect of the recruitment of Teachers

Eligibility Test during the interregnum period, ie., from 23.08.2010 to 29.07.2011.

However, in these cases, the learned counsel for the petitioners submits that as of

today, the petitioners do not have any grievance as per one of the views taken in

the Writ Appeal Nos.313 of 2022 and batch and therefore, he wants to withdraw

these writ petitions with liberty to file a fresh writ petition, if at all, they are

visited with any adverse consequences.

order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
