No specific issues related to GST law were decided on merits, as the petition was withdrawn. The operative direction is the dismissal of the writ petition as withdrawn with liberty granted.

The petitioner, represented by Mr. KPS Virk and Ms. Payal Sharma, sought liberty to avail of its remedy before the GST Appellate Tribunal. The judgment does not record any specific arguments from the revenue or state respondents regarding the withdrawal request. Therefore, the Court's decision hinges solely on the petitioner's plea and the Court's discretion to grant such a liberty.
