The Supreme Court's reading the riot act to BJP leader and All India Football Federation (AIFF) president Kalya Choubey in its previous sitting has had the desired impact.

Choubey on Monday informed the apex court that he has filed an application in the Calcutta High Court to withdraw his petition challenging the 2022 elections for the Maniktala assembly constituency in West Bengal. 

It bears noting the the Calcutta High Court was equally culpable in delaying any final orders and granting deferral after deferral to Choubey's repeated requests for adjournments.
