2. By filing this writ petition, the petitioner seeks a direction to the appropriate authority, more particularly respondent No. 2, to consider and dispose of the representation dated 08.09.2026 submitted by the petitioner.
3. Vide order dated 24.09.2026, this Court directed the learned Government Advocate for the State respondent No. 1 to obtain instructions in the matter.
4. However, Ms. Wangmo, learned Government Advocate, on instructions, submits that the representation dated 08.09.2026 submitted by the petitioner before respondent No. 2/the Chairperson, Child Welfare Committee, Yupia, seeking restoration of the custody of his minor daughter to him, has already been considered and rejected.
5. In view of the above submission, Mr. Menjo, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, since the representation has already been considered, the present writ petition has become infructuous and, therefore, seeks permission to withdraw the same.
6. Prayer is allowed.
