[1]	The appellant had filed summons on 20 February 2025 seeking inter alia leave to appeal against the interlocutory ruling of the High Court dated 17 September 2024 after the High Court on 30 January 2025 refused leave to appeal its own previous ruling.

[2]	When the matter was taken up for hearing on 20 June 2025, the Counsel for the appellant indicated that he wished to withdraw the summons for leave to appeal and other reliefs. The Counsel for the 01st respondent agreed not to seek costs. A notice of discontinuance has been filed on 26 June 2025 signed by solicitors for the appellant and 01st respondent and I make the following orders accordingly. 

Orders of the Court:
